Dextrose injection vs. dextrose with steroid for carpal tunnel
This study tests whether adding a common steroid (methylprednisolone) to a dextrose (sugar water) injection works better than dextrose alone for carpal tunnel syndrome. Both treatments are injected into the wrist to reduce pain and numbness.
KninAges 18–80 - NCT06133712Recruiting
Injection treatment for carpal tunnel pain
This trial tests whether a local injection of three medications (dexmedetomidine, ozone, and dexamethasone) can relieve pain and symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to provide a non-surgical option for those who haven't improved with other treatments.
Tanta, El GharbiaAges 20–60 - NCT06208709Recruiting
Carpal tunnel treatment for right hand without surgery
This study tests a new way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome in the right hand without surgery. It may help people with mild to moderate symptoms who have not had recent injections or other treatments.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06243848Recruiting
Injection vs. surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection and a surgery to take pressure off the median nerve. It aims to see which one provides better relief for symptoms like numbness and tingling.
AfyonkarahisarAges 18–75 - NCT06509633Recruiting
Pain education and rehab for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether combining a special type of pain education with standard rehabilitation helps people with moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome feel better and improve hand function. It aims to help you understand your pain and recover.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–50 - NCT06550284Recruiting
Nerve sensitivity in carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests how small nerve fibers work in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses simple sensory tests to understand nerve function, which may help guide treatment.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06574841Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests a new hand therapy that uses a special band to lightly restrict blood flow while you do exercises. It may help reduce pain, improve grip strength, and nerve function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
CairoAges 30–55 - NCT06593977Recruiting
Dynavisc gel for pain after repeat carpal tunnel surgery
This trial tests a gel called Dynavisc to see if it reduces pain when placed in the wrist during a second surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help people who still have pain after their first surgery.
Leuven, BelgiumAges 18–65 - NCT06599086Recruiting
Steroid shot for carpal tunnel with split nerve
This study tests if a steroid injection helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome who also have a split median nerve (called bifid median nerve). It compares them to people without the split nerve to see if the treatment works differently.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06635213Recruiting
Desensitisation and pain education for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether desensitisation therapy and pain neuroscience education help people with carpal tunnel syndrome who have a type of pain called 'nociplastic' (pain without clear tissue damage). It aims to reduce pain and improve function.
