Carpal tunnel surgery with local anesthesia, with or without nerve block
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 18 years old
- Have carpal tunnel confirmed by a nerve test (nerve conduction study)
- Have symptoms that fit carpal tunnel and are suitable for surgery
- Not have carpal tunnel that has come back before (recurrent carpal tunnel)
- Do not have other nerve problems besides carpal tunnel (peripheral neuropathy)

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.
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.
This study tests a combination of hands-on therapy and a small electrical nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you avoid surgery and find relief from symptoms that have lasted at least 3 months.
This study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a newer injection-based approach (hydrodissection with neuroprolotherapy) and the traditional open surgery. It aims to see which one works better for people who haven't improved with standard treatments like splints or physical therapy.
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.
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.
