- NCT06440070Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided needle thread release for carpal tunnel
This trial tests a new, less invasive way to release the tight ligament in the wrist that causes carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses ultrasound to guide a curved needle and thread to cut the ligament, which may lead to less pain and faster recovery.

Surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome: open versus ultrasound-guided
This trial compares two ways of performing carpal tunnel release surgery: the standard open technique and a method using ultrasound to guide the surgeon. The goal is to see if one approach leads to better results, and you will be assigned to one of the two methods.
SalzburgAges 18 years+ - NCT04460521RecruitingPhase 4
NAC pills and night splints for carpal tunnel without surgery
This trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) along with wearing a night wrist splint can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical option.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07723313RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Amniotic membrane and secretome for carpal tunnel release
This trial tests whether adding a special membrane (amniotic membrane) and a natural healing fluid (secretome) to standard carpal tunnel release surgery can improve hand function better than surgery alone. It may be a good option if your wrist pain and numbness haven't gone away with other treatments.
Denpasar, BaliAges 18 years+ - NCT07614425Recruiting
Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Study
This study tests surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand. You may qualify if you have confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome and conservative treatments like splints haven't helped.
HelsinkiAges 18–75 - NCT07594821Recruiting
Two approaches to carpal tunnel surgery: comparing outcomes
This study compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07324005Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release and injection for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial tests a new treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome that uses ultrasound to guide a needle to release a tight ligament in the wrist and inject a sugar-water solution around the nerve. This may help relieve pain and numbness without surgery.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT07134361Recruiting
Ultrasound study for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study uses hand ultrasound to evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the wrist changes after treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06717477Enrolling by invitation
Improving care for carpal tunnel syndrome patients
This trial tests a new streamlined care pathway for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to make appointments and treatments easier and faster.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05431101Recruiting
Absorbable versus non-absorbable stitches after carpal tunnel surgery
This study compares two types of stitches used to close the skin after carpal tunnel release surgery. It may help show which stitch type leads to better healing and comfort afterward.
ApeldoornAges 18 years+ - NCT05372393Recruiting
Carpal tunnel surgery with local anesthesia, with or without nerve block
This study compares two ways of giving pain control during carpal tunnel release surgery: local anesthesia alone versus local anesthesia plus a targeted nerve block. It may help find the safest and most comfortable option for people having carpal tunnel surgery.
Kuopio, Northern SavoniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07706296Recruiting
Hand function tests for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether certain hand function tests are reliable and accurate for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It helps doctors better understand how the condition affects your hand use.
IzmirAges 18–60 - NCT06405438Recruiting
Mud therapy vs. paraffin wax for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments—mud therapy (peloid) and paraffin wax—for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to see which one better eases symptoms like numbness, tingling, and hand pain.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07660913Recruiting
Vibrating therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether a gentle vibrating therapy (matrix rhythm therapy) can help relieve pain, tingling, and numbness from carpal tunnel syndrome. Participants will receive the therapy, and researchers will track if it improves hand function without surgery or drugs.
IzmirAges 18–60 - NCT06687018Recruiting
Comparing two hand therapies for carpal tunnel relief
This study tests two types of gentle hand and wrist movements (mobilizations) to see which better relieves pain, tingling, and numbness in carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you if you have these symptoms and are otherwise healthy.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–45 - NCT06658886Recruiting
Corticosteroid injection vs. paraffin therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection or paraffin wax therapy. It aims to find which option works better for people with mild to moderate symptoms lasting at least 3 months.
Istanbul, BeylikdüzüAges 18–65 - NCT07486284Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound test for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to check for carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing numbness or pain in your hand). It compares people with the condition to healthy volunteers to see if the ultrasound can help diagnose it.
Da NangAges 18 years+ - NCT07432750Recruiting
Osteopathic manipulation vs. wrist brace for carpal tunnel
This study tests whether osteopathic manipulation (a gentle hands-on treatment) works better than wearing a wrist brace for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild or moderate carpal tunnel and haven't had surgery, this trial might help find a non-surgical option.
Old Westbury, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07312123Recruiting
