Thousands tracked after carpal tunnel surgery: does new device deliver?
NCT ID NCT06071468
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is tracking 2000 adults with carpal tunnel syndrome who are having surgery to release the nerve. The surgery uses a special device called UltraGuideCTR, which is guided by ultrasound. Researchers are collecting real-world data on symptoms and hand function for up to 24 months after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UltraGuideCTR device
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could provide clear evidence on how well the UltraGuideCTR device works for carpal tunnel release in everyday practice.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so results may not prove cause and effect. The device is already commercially available, so no breakthrough is expected.
