CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS)

This study compared two surgical methods for treating carpal tunnel syndrome: a newer, minimally invasive ultrasound-guided technique and the traditional open surgery. Researchers followed 200 adults with carpal tunnel syndrome to see which approach provided better functional out…

This study aimed to see if ultrasound scans could be a good alternative to standard nerve tests for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Researchers compared ultrasound measurements of the median nerve in 75 people, including healthy individuals and those with mild to moderat…

This study tested whether a hands-on physical therapy technique, called fascial mobilization, could help new mothers experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome after giving birth. Thirty women in their first year postpartum with wrist pain, numbness, and weakness participated. Researche…

This study compared two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome to see which provides better early recovery. Researchers followed 113 patients after either endoscopic (minimally invasive) or traditional open surgery. They measured pain levels, hand function, and return to …

This study tested whether adding peloidotherapy (a type of mud therapy) to standard care helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome. 70 adults with mild-to-moderate symptoms were randomly assigned to receive either a wrist splint and exercises alone, or that same care plus mud ther…

This study tested if adding a special ultrasound treatment with hyaluronic acid gel could help women with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) that developed after breast cancer surgery and hormone therapy. 60 women were split into two groups: one received the ultrasound gel treatment pl…

This study tested if adding low-level laser therapy or specific nerve exercises after carpal tunnel surgery helps the nerve heal better than standard care alone. 45 patients who had the surgery were split into three groups to receive one of these extra treatments or just standard…

This study tested whether adding specific nerve gliding exercises to standard ultrasound therapy provides better relief for carpal tunnel syndrome. It involved 86 adults with mild-to-moderate symptoms in their dominant hand. Researchers compared pain, grip strength, and hand func…

This study tested which of two steroid injection methods works better to relieve pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. 63 participants were randomly assigned to receive either an ultrasound-guided injection directly at the wrist, a…

This study tested a single, minimally invasive injection for carpal tunnel syndrome. Doctors used ultrasound to guide a needle and inject a sugar-water solution (5% dextrose) around the pinched nerve in the wrist. The goal was to see if this one-time procedure could safely reduce…

This study tested whether adding shockwave therapy to standard hand exercises provides better relief for carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers compared two groups of patients over four weeks: one group did exercises alone, while the other did exercises plus shockwave therapy. The g…

This study aimed to check if a specific questionnaire is a good tool for measuring hand and arm function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers gave three different surveys to 101 patients to see how well the new questionnaire performed compared to established ones. T…

This completed study aimed to understand how diabetic nerve damage (polyneuropathy) affects carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers examined 84 participants using special ultrasound techniques to measure nerve stiffness and blood flow, along with hand function tests. The goal was to …

This study aimed to understand if chronic inflammation or vitamin B12 deficiency is linked to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a common condition causing hand numbness and pain. Researchers compared blood test results from 70 adults with idiopathic CTS to healthy people, looking for…

This study aimed to understand if there is a link between two seemingly different conditions: an eye disorder called pseudoexfoliation syndrome and carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist. Researchers examined 118 adults diagnosed with the eye condition to see how many also had carpa…
