Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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 - NCT07167667Recruiting
Hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study tests two types of hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: shockwave therapy (5 sessions) or warm paraffin wax (10 sessions). It compares which one better reduces nerve thickening and your symptoms.
IstanbulAges 30–60 - NCT07414069Recruiting
Laser therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial tests high-intensity laser therapy as a treatment for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to see if the laser can improve symptoms and hand function without surgery or injections.
Ankara, Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–65 - NCT07433257Recruiting
Steroid injection for carpal tunnel with diabetes
This study tests if a steroid injection in the wrist helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome, comparing results between those with and without type 2 diabetes. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel and either well-controlled diabetes or no diabetes, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT06834061Recruiting
Using ultrasound to diagnose and manage carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial tests if ultrasound can help doctors better diagnose and track carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed). It may lead to better treatment and follow-up without extra tests.
Kafr ash Shaykh, KafrelsheikhAges 18 years+ - NCT06757062Recruiting
Red tape for gamers with carpal tunnel symptoms
This study tests if red kinesiology tape can help reduce symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain in the hands and wrists of esports players who play over 5 hours a week. If you have carpal tunnel-like symptoms, this trial might help you find a non-surgical option.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06758518Enrolling by invitation
Carpal tunnel syndrome in medical students: stress and depression
This study looks at how stress and depression might affect carpal tunnel syndrome in medical students. It could help us understand if emotional health plays a role in this common wrist condition.
Ioannina, EpirusAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07644325Recruiting
Comparing Two Biopsy Methods for Carpal Tunnel Amyloidosis
This study compares two small tissue samples taken during carpal tunnel surgery to see which method best detects a protein disease (transthyretin amyloidosis) that can affect nerves and the heart. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome and are having surgery, this research may help doctors diagnose related heart or nerve problems earlier.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT07496398Recruiting
Nerve function study in tattoo artists
This study looks at how tattooing may affect the nerves in the arm and hand. It compares tattoo artists to healthy people to see if the vibrations from tattoo machines cause any changes in nerve function.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT05365282Recruiting
Check how a wrist artery procedure affects hand nerve symptoms
This study looks at whether a procedure on an artery in the wrist is linked to new or worsening nerve symptoms in the hand. It may help doctors understand who is at higher or lower risk and improve safety.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT05719935Recruiting
KinematX wrist replacement registry for people with wrist arthritis
This trial is a registry that follows people who get (or already had) a KinematX total wrist replacement. It collects health and recovery information to better understand outcomes for different wrist problems, like arthritis or certain bone alignment issues.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–85 - NCT06458374Recruiting
Heart Amyloidosis in Carpal Tunnel Surgery Patients
This study looks for people who had carpal tunnel surgery at Ålesund Hospital to check for a rare heart condition called ATTR amyloidosis. It aims to find the disease early and see how common it is.
Ålesund, Møre og RomsdalAges 50 years+ - NCT06538779Recruiting
Ultrasound study of median nerve variations in carpal tunnel
This study uses ultrasound to look at the median nerve in the wrist of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find common nerve variations that might affect treatment.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 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 - NCT06693258Recruiting
Robotic vs. open thyroid surgery comparison study
This study compares two ways to remove the thyroid gland: a newer robotic method through the armpit (transaxillary robotic thyroidectomy) versus the traditional open surgery through a neck incision. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for carpal tunnel?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 65 recruiting carpal tunnel studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a carpal tunnel trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a carpal tunnel trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
