New radiofrequency device could ease Post-Burn hand pain
NCT ID NCT07660328
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether TECAR therapy, a device that uses radiofrequency energy to heat tissues, can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome after a burn. Fifty-two adults aged 20 to 40 with mild to moderate carpal tunnel and a history of upper limb burns will receive either TECAR or standard ultrasound therapy for two weeks. Researchers will measure symptom severity, hand function, grip strength, and pain levels.

- Active substance
- TECAR therapy (a device that uses radiofrequency energy to heat tissues)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a non-invasive way to ease pain and improve hand function for people with carpal tunnel syndrome after burns.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants. The therapy may not work better than standard rehab, and long-term effects are unknown.
