CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS)

This study looks at whether a special ultrasound can diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome without the need for painful needle tests. Researchers will compare ultrasound results to standard nerve tests in 80 adults. If successful, this could offer a faster, more comfortable way to diag…

This study looks at whether a type of electrical current called diadynamic current can help relieve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition that causes pain, numbness, and weakness in the hand. Researchers will treat 80 adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel sy…

This study tests whether warm paraffin wax baths or mud therapy (peloidotherapy) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. 90 adults will be split into three groups: one gets mud plus home exercises, another gets wax plus ho…

This study looks at two non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pain neuroscience education (teaching people how the brain processes pain) and kinesio taping (a special tape applied to the wrist). Researchers want to see if these approaches reduce pain, improve hand f…

This study looks at whether anxiety and depression are connected to carpal tunnel syndrome in medical students. Researchers will measure the median nerve in the wrist and check students' anxiety and depression levels using questionnaires. The goal is to see if there is a link bet…

This study checks if a new questionnaire called MAP-Hand is a reliable way to measure hand activity in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will enroll 180 adults with mild or moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will fill out the MAP-Hand scale and have their…

This study looks at 144 adults having carpal tunnel surgery to see if the thickness of a wrist ligament is linked to developing pain in the heel of the hand after the operation. Researchers will measure the ligament during surgery and track patients' recovery. The goal is to unde…

This study looks at whether a new care pathway can shorten wait times for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will compare wait times before and after the pathway is used. About 200 adults will take part and fill out a short survey about their satisfaction with care.
