Istanbul, PendikAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT06986668Enrolling by invitation
Warm wax and mud therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial tests if paraffin wax baths and peloidotherapy (mud therapy) help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (a hand nerve condition). It may be a good fit if you haven't had prior wrist surgery, steroid injections, or other nerve problems.
KonyaAges 18–65 - NCT06758193Enrolling by invitation
Testing a hand symptom scale for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests whether a hand-related questionnaire called the MAP-Hand Scale is a reliable and accurate tool for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand, your answers could help improve how doctors measure symptoms.
Kırşehir, MerkezAges 18–65 - NCT06649461Enrolling by invitation
Ozone therapy and splint for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial tests if adding ozone therapy to a wrist splint helps relieve mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain. It compares the combination to a splint alone.
KocaeliAges 18–65 - NCT07653789Recruiting
Hand exercises for carpal tunnel in pregnancy
This study compares three types of hand and wrist exercises to see which works best for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome during pregnancy. It may help reduce pain and improve hand function.
Islamabad, ICTAges 18–45 - NCT04206215Recruiting
Noninvasive brain stimulation for carpal tunnel pain relief
This study tests whether a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment can reduce chronic carpal tunnel (CTS) pain, especially when pain spreads beyond the usual nerve area. If you have long-lasting CTS pain that hasn’t improved with standard treatments, you may be able to try this therapy while being closely monitored for safety.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06509633Recruiting
