Sound waves and gel may ease wrist pain in breast cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06538818
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether applying ultrasound with a hyaluronic acid gel to the wrist could help women who developed carpal tunnel syndrome from hormone therapy after mastectomy. Sixty women were split into two groups: one received the ultrasound gel treatment plus standard physical therapy, and the other received only standard therapy. The goal was to see if the gel treatment improved nerve function, pain, grip strength, and daily hand use.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a non-invasive way to reduce pain and improve hand function for women with carpal tunnel syndrome after breast cancer treatment.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with no phase designation, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is a short-term addition to standard therapy, not a standalone cure.
