NCT ID NCT07613476
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a pain-relief gel (pregabalin) delivered through the skin using ultrasound can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. The treatment is given four times a week for a month, and compared to standard ultrasound therapy without the drug. The goal is to find a safer, non-invasive option that avoids the side effects of oral medications.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, low-side-effect treatment option for carpal tunnel pain and hand function.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment may not prove better than standard ultrasound therapy.
