CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

This study aims to see if a precise, ultrasound-guided injection can work as well as minor surgery for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. It will involve 60 people with the condition, who will be randomly assigned to receive either the injection or the surgical procedure. Researche…

This study aims to see if adding a specific nerve block to the standard local anesthesia reduces pain for patients in the first 72 hours after carpal tunnel release surgery. It will involve 118 adults with confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will be randomly assigned t…

This study is testing a new approach to manage pain after carpal tunnel release surgery without using opioid painkillers. Researchers will give some patients a long-acting numbing shot called Exparel along with education about opioids, while others get standard care with opioid p…

This study aims to find out if a continuous cooling machine works better than traditional ice packs for reducing pain after carpal tunnel release surgery. Researchers will enroll 128 adults having this common hand surgery and randomly assign them to use either the cooling machine…

This study aims to understand how long steroid injections relieve symptoms for people with carpal tunnel syndrome who have mild or normal nerve test results (EMG). Researchers will look back at data from 300 adults who received this standard injection. They will use a standard qu…

This study is testing a new device designed to relieve the pain and numbness of carpal tunnel syndrome. The device is worn on the wrist at night and applies gentle, rhythmic pressure. Researchers are comparing this new device to a standard wrist brace to see which one better impr…

This study is testing whether a non-invasive laser treatment can reduce pain and improve hand function for people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare a real high-intensity laser therapy to a fake (sham) treatment, with both groups also using a s…

This small, early study is testing whether using a robotic arm to hold an ultrasound device helps doctors give steroid injections for carpal tunnel syndrome. It will compare the robot-assisted method to the standard manual method in 20 patients to see if it's safe, accurate, and …

This study is testing whether two types of noninvasive brain stimulation can reduce chronic pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare real stimulation to fake stimulation in 95 adults who have had persistent hand pain for at least six months. The goal i…

This study is testing whether a specific combination of oral supplements can help people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers want to see if taking alpha-lipoic acid, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B together can safely reduce symptoms like pain and numbness, and improve hand functio…

This study aims to understand the connection between carpal tunnel syndrome and poor sleep. Researchers will compare 120 patients with carpal tunnel to healthy people, using ultrasound scans and sleep quality questionnaires. The goal is to learn how the severity of nerve compress…
