Heat-Sensing cameras may spot carpal tunnel syndrome without needles

NCT ID NCT07699289

First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores whether a digital infrared camera, which measures skin temperature, can help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Researchers will compare temperature patterns in the hands of people with CTS to standard electrodiagnostic tests. The goal is to see if thermography offers a simpler, non-invasive diagnostic option. Participants are adults referred for nerve testing who have not had hand surgery or conditions that alter skin temperature.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a non-invasive, quick, and painless way to help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. Thermography may not prove accurate enough to replace standard diagnostic methods.
