First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a type of electrical stimulation called Russian current can help people regain hand grip strength and function after carpal tunnel release surgery. Fifty-two adults aged 30 to 50 with hand weakness after surgery took part. Researchers measured grip strength, hand function, wrist movement, and pain to see if the therapy helped recovery.
