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.
