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
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looked at whether adding low-level laser therapy or nerve mobilization (gentle stretching of the median nerve) after carpal tunnel release surgery improves nerve function more than surgery alone. Forty-five adults who had carpal tunnel surgery were split into three groups: one got laser, one got nerve mobilization, and one got standard care. Nerve tests were done before and after six weeks of treatment to see if the added therapies made a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Low-level laser therapy (gallium arsenide diode laser) and median nerve mobilization (a manual therapy technique)
What this could lead to
If effective, these add-on treatments could help people recover nerve function faster after carpal tunnel surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 45 participants. Results may not apply to everyone, and the improvements may be modest or not clinically meaningful.
