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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether a person's body weight affects the accuracy of ultrasound for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure the median nerve size with ultrasound and compare it to standard nerve tests in 120 adults. The goal is to see if weight 'masks' the true severity, helping doctors make better diagnoses.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors interpret ultrasound results more accurately for carpal tunnel syndrome, especially in people with different body weights.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not change current practice, and results might not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The study population consists of adult patients who were admitted to the Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (PMR) outpatient clinic with complaints of hand numbness and tingling. The cohort includes individuals from a diverse range of occupational backgrounds and body compositions to evaluate the impact of anthropometric measurements on median nerve morphology.

Ages

18 to 75 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged between 18 and 75 years. * Clinical diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) based on symptoms (numbness, tingling, nocturnal pain in the median nerve distribution). * Electrophysiological confirmation of CTS according to the American * Association of Neuromuscular \& Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AAEM) criteria. * Ability to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Secondary causes of CTS (e.g., Diabetes Mellitus, Hypothyroidism, Rheumatoid -Arthritis, Chronic Renal Failure). * Coexisting neurological conditions (e.g., Cervical Radiculopathy, * Polyneuropathy, Brachial Plexopathy). * History of previous wrist surgery, trauma, or local corticosteroid injection within the last 6 months. * Pregnancy or lactation. * Congenital anatomical variations such as a bifid median nerve or persistent median artery (detected during USG).
