CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS)

This study aims to create a Turkish version of the CTS-6, a tool doctors use to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will test the translated tool on 126 Turkish-speaking adults, including healthy people, those with symptoms, and those already diagnosed. The goal is to en…

This study will follow 60 people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, half with type 2 diabetes and half without, to see how well a corticosteroid injection relieves symptoms. Researchers will measure pain, hand function, nerve signals, and ultrasound images before treat…

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic treatment (rPMS) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Forty adults will receive either real or sham magnetic pulses over several sessions. Researchers will measure pain, …

This study looks at whether wearing a wrist splint at different angles (bent slightly forward, straight, or bent slightly backward) can better relieve pain and numbness from carpal tunnel syndrome. About 108 adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel will wear the splint only at …

This study compares three types of injections—glucocorticoid, ozone, and 5% dextrose—for relieving pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure nerve function and pain levels in 105 adults aged 18 to 65 who have not responded to other trea…

This study will test if carpal tunnel release surgery is truly effective by comparing it to a placebo surgery where the incision is made but the nerve is not released. About 96 adults with carpal tunnel syndrome will be randomly assigned to real or placebo surgery, and neither th…

This study tests whether hyaluronic acid injections work as well as standard steroid shots for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty adults will receive one type of injection under ultrasound guidance. Researchers will track symptom relief, nerve function, and ultrasound…

This study compares two minimally invasive treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pulsed radiofrequency and hyaluronidase hydrodissection. Researchers will measure pain relief, hand function, and nerve health in 56 adults aged 20-80 with mild to moderate symptoms. The goal is to …

This pilot study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic treatment (rPMS) can reduce chronic pain in the elbow or wrist caused by tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or carpal tunnel syndrome. About 40 adults will receive either real or fake (sham) magnetic pulses over two days. Research…

This study looks at whether using a larger or smaller amount of fluid during an ultrasound-guided injection around the median nerve can better relieve pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. The trial will include 35 adults with mild to moderate symptoms. The goal is to find …

This study will test whether low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (magnetotherapy) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to receive either active magnetotherapy, a pla…

This study tests whether dipping the hand and forearm in warm paraffin wax for 20 minutes can immediately reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Twenty-four adults will be randomly assigned to either the wax treatment or rest. Researchers will mea…

This study looks at whether improvements in the first few weeks of hand therapy can predict how well patients will recover months later. Researchers will use a digital system to track 60 adults with various hand or arm injuries. The goal is to help therapists make better treatmen…

This study will use ultrasound to measure the size and blood flow of the median nerve in 100 people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare findings between diabetic and non-diabetic patients to see if there are differences. The goal is to better understand how the …

This study looks at how people make decisions about imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs for common muscle and joint issues. About 220 adults with conditions like arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome will either have a short conversation about the test's pros and cons or read brief i…
