Summary
This study tests whether a painless brain stimulation technique (tDCS plus ultrasound) can reduce chronic pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. About 95 adults with long-term wrist pain will receive either real or fake stimulation to see if it lowers their pain scores. The goal is to find a drug-free way to ease discomfort without surgery or medication.
