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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests whether low-frequency magnetic field therapy (magnetotherapy) can reduce pain and improve function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. Sixty adults will be randomly assigned to receive either active magnetotherapy, a placebo device, or standard care (wrist splint and exercises) for three weeks. Researchers will measure symptoms, hand strength, and nerve health at several follow-up visits.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (magnetotherapy)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a non-invasive, drug-free option to reduce pain and improve hand function for people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The placebo effect is strong in pain studies, and the results may not apply to severe cases or general populations.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults aged between 18 and 65 years. Clinical diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based on physical examination findings, including positive Tinel and/or Phalen tests and hypoesthesia in the 3rd to 5th digits. Electrophysiologically confirmed mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome based on electromyography (EMG) findings. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed electrophysiologically by electromyography (EMG). History of previous surgical intervention for carpal tunnel syndrome. Presence of other peripheral nerve entrapments (e.g., ulnar nerve entrapment, radial nerve entrapment). Electrophysiologically confirmed polyneuropathy or cervical radiculopathy/cervical discopathy. Rheumatologic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus). Diabetes mellitus (Type 1 or Type 2). Pregnancy. Presence of electronic implants such as cardiac pacemaker, cochlear implant, or implantable defibrillator. Active acute infection. History of malignancy. Receipt of physical therapy or rehabilitation for the wrist or surrounding area within the past 6 months. Corticosteroid injection to the wrist within the past 6 months. Hyperthyroidism or adrenal gland hyperfunction. Open growth plates (epiphyseal plates not closed). Paroxysmal neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy). Myasthenia gravis. Regular use of pain medications such as pregabalin, duloxetine, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
