Eye flakes and wrist pain: surprising connection found?
NCT ID NCT06946030
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examined whether pseudoexfoliation syndrome (an eye condition) is related to carpal tunnel syndrome (a wrist nerve problem). Researchers measured blood markers in 159 adults aged 50-80. The goal was to see if these conditions share a common cause, not to test a treatment.
