What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding kinesiotaping to standard exercise and night splinting can improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition causing hand numbness, tingling, and pain. Adults with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome will be randomly assigned to one of two taping techniques or to standard care alone. Over 12 weeks, researchers will measure changes in nerve size and shape using ultrasound, along with pain and function, to see if taping offers extra benefit.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Kinesiotaping (I-Strip or Button Hole technique) added to standard exercise and night splint therapy
What this could lead to
If effective, this could point toward a non-surgical, low-cost way to reduce pain and numbness in carpal tunnel syndrome, potentially improving hand function without medication or surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefit of kinesiotaping over standard care is uncertain, and any improvement may be modest or short-lived.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 90 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Mar 2027

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Being aged between 18 and 65 years. * Willingness and ability to sign the informed consent form. * Having symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (hand numbness, tingling, pain) for at least 3 months. * Clinical diagnosis of mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by physical examination (positive Phalen/Tinel tests) and a prior nerve conduction study (EMG). Exclusion Criteria: * Previous wrist or hand surgery. * Severe carpal tunnel syndrome on EMG (evidence of thenar atrophy or severe motor loss). * History of trauma, fracture in the wrist area, or anatomical anomalies affecting ultrasonography. * Cervical radiculopathy, polyneuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, or other concomitant upper extremity entrapment neuropathies. * Local corticosteroid injection to the carpal tunnel within the last 6 months. * Pregnancy. * Systemic corticosteroid use or inflammatory rheumatic diseases. * Cognitive impairment or psychiatric illness preventing comprehension of questionnaire instructions. * Lack of a prior EMG report upon admission to the outpatient clinic.
