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 Results may not be published yet.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.
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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compared two surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a newer ultrasound-guided procedure with a small incision and traditional open surgery. Researchers wanted to see if the less invasive method leads to faster symptom relief and better hand function. Two hundred adults with carpal tunnel syndrome took part, and their outcomes were measured using questionnaires and pain scales.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Percutaneous ultrasound-guided release of the transverse carpal ligament (procedure) vs open release surgery (procedure)
What this could lead to
If the ultrasound-guided method works better, it could offer faster recovery and less pain after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with 200 people, so results are available but may not apply to everyone. The less invasive approach might not be as effective as open surgery for some patients.
