Hands-On treatment vs. night brace: which eases carpal tunnel better?
NCT ID NCT07432750
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two treatments for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome: osteopathic manipulation (hands-on therapy) and wearing a wrist brace at night. Ten adults diagnosed with carpal tunnel will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Researchers will use MRI scans to measure changes in the carpal tunnel and questionnaires to track symptoms and quality of life over 10 weeks.
