CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS)

This study compares two common physical therapy treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: paraffin wax therapy and shockwave therapy. Researchers will measure how each treatment affects nerve thickness, pain levels, and quality of life in 60 patients. The goal is to understand which…

This study aims to find out which non-surgical treatment works better for carpal tunnel syndrome: wearing a wrist splint or receiving high-intensity laser therapy. Both treatments will be added to a standard physical therapy program. Researchers will measure changes in pain, hand…

This study is testing if teaching patients about how pain works in the nervous system can help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Researchers will compare standard care (home exercises and a wrist splint) to the same care plus this special pain educ…

This study is comparing two non-surgical treatments for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) against standard home exercises. Researchers want to see if adding either kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) or peloidotherapy (therapeutic mud packs) to a home exercise prog…

This study aims to find out which injection method works better for relieving the pain and numbness of carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare a standard steroid injection to a newer method using only saltwater (saline) to gently separate the nerve. About 90 adult partic…

This study aims to see if weekly hands-on therapy is as good as or better than wearing a wrist brace at night for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Ten participants will be randomly assigned to receive either six weeks of therapy or use a brace. Researchers will use MRI sc…

This study is testing if adding exercises for the neck and upper back to standard hand therapy provides extra relief for carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty adults with carpal tunnel will be randomly assigned to receive either standard therapy alone or standard therapy plus the new exe…

This study aims to better understand a simple physical test for carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure the muscle activity in 25 adults with the condition when a doctor scratches their wrist. The goal is to see exactly how and why the muscle briefly weakens during this …

This study aims to understand if measurements taken from an ultrasound scan of the wrist can tell doctors how much feeling a person with carpal tunnel syndrome has lost in their hand. Researchers will recruit 84 adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. They will compa…
