Hand clinical trials

Assessment of Ultrasound Findings, Nerve Test Results, and Hand Function in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Comparing vitamin D3 and acyclovir shots for skin warts

This trial tests two injected treatments (vitamin D3 or acyclovir) for common skin warts. The goal is to see which one works better for warts that are new or have not gone away with other treatments.

Study of the Point Mini prosthetic hand for children

This study tests a new type of prosthetic hand device called the Point Mini. It is designed for children and teens who have partial hand differences, and aims to see how well it works in everyday use at home.

Comparing two tubal removal methods during C-section

This study compares two ways of removing the fallopian tubes (salpingectomy) during a planned C-section for permanent birth control. You and your baby will get the same standard care, and the study helps find which technique works best.

Rhythm-based therapy for older adults' memory and movement

This study tests a new therapy that combines rhythm and movement to help improve thinking and physical function in healthy older adults and those with mild cognitive impairment. It compares their results with younger adults to see if the therapy works across different ages.

Thumb arthritis surgery: is in-clinic therapy needed?

This trial compares recovery after thumb joint surgery with or without in-clinic physical therapy. It aims to see if patients can recover just as well with home exercises alone, which could reduce travel and costs.

Exercises and hands-on therapy for neck pain

This study tests whether combining eye exercises with hands-on therapy helps people with non-specific neck pain (pain not caused by a known injury or disease). It may help improve how your neck moves and reduce discomfort.

Digital addiction study for university students

This study looks at how university students use smartphones and whether they develop digital addiction. It's a simple survey-based study to understand patterns and risks.

Quit for Kids: help parents quit smoking and protect children

This study offers a program to help parents who smoke quit for good, while protecting their young children from secondhand smoke. It uses text messaging and support to make quitting easier.

Surgery to reduce pain in finger osteoarthritis

This trial tests whether surgical “nerve disconnection” (joint denervation) can reduce pain from osteoarthritis in a finger joint. It focuses on people who have ongoing finger pain despite usual treatments for at least 3 months.

Immunotherapy to help grafts heal for people with limb loss

This Phase 2 study tests an immune-targeting treatment to help a transplanted tissue “graft” integrate and heal better after limb loss. It may help by reducing problems with healing and rejection, but you must be able to complete frequent follow-up visits and testing.

IV heparin study after finger or hand reattachment

This study looks at whether giving an IV blood thinner called unfractionated heparin after finger/hand reattachment and restoring blood flow improves healing and safety. If you were accepted into the CEVARMU replant/revascularization program, this trial may be testing a standard-after-surgery medicine approach.

Study of carbon hand and wrist implants after surgery

This trial follows people who receive a special hand or wrist implant made of pyrocarbon (a strong, durable material). It aims to measure outcomes over time to see how well the implant works and how patients do functionally.

Nerve and tendon transfer surgery for hand function after spinal cord injury

This trial studies a specialized surgery that reroutes nerves and tendons to help restore hand and grip function after a spinal cord injury. It may help some people regain more useful hand movement if their arm muscle strength and nerve signals are strong enough.

Testing a sponge device to help blood recovery after heart surgery

This study looks at a new surgical sponge and blood-recovery device during major heart or lung operations. It aims to improve how efficiently blood is recovered and returned, which may help during surgery.

Spinal stimulation to improve hand function in kids with spinal cord injury

This study tests a noninvasive spinal stimulation device to help children with spinal cord injury regain hand strength and control. It may improve grip and daily activities.

Study of a better robotic hand with feeling

This trial tests a new way to control a robotic hand using sensors on your skin and to give you feeling back through mild electrical pulses. It may help people with upper limb amputations have a more natural sense of touch and control.

New eye test for hydroxychloroquine damage

This trial tests a new type of eye test (ERG) to detect early damage from hydroxychloroquine, a drug used for conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. If you take hydroxychloroquine or have never taken it, you might help find better ways to protect your vision.

Testing a forearm implant that records muscle signals for prosthetic use

This study tests a small implant that records signals from your forearm muscles in people with a specific type of arm amputation. It aims to help improve how well prosthetic hands can be controlled using muscle activity.

Neck exercises for hand strength in chronic neck pain

This trial tests whether special neck exercises can improve hand grip strength in people with long-term neck pain caused by muscle knots. If you have chronic neck pain and hand weakness, this study may help you get stronger while reducing pain.

Robotic hand therapy after recent stroke

This trial is testing a glove-like device to help people who had a recent stroke (2 days to 2 months ago) regain movement and feeling in their hand. It may be a good fit if your hand muscles are very weak and you can comfortably wear the device.

AI vs. human for hydration check

This study uses an ultrasound method to check your hydration status, comparing artificial intelligence (computer analysis) with a human expert. It aims to see if AI can accurately assess how hydrated you are.

Inhaled interferon for hand, foot, and mouth disease in children

This trial tests whether breathing in a medication called pegylated interferon helps children with mild hand, foot, and mouth disease recover faster. It is for children ages 1 to 6 who have had symptoms like fever or rash for 3 days or less.

Comparing myoelectric and bionic prosthetic hands

This study compares two types of prosthetic hands: a myoelectric hand (controlled by muscle signals) and a bionic hand (with more advanced features). The goal is to see which one works better for people who already use a prosthetic arm with a semi-electronic elbow.
