Absorbable versus non-absorbable stitches after carpal tunnel surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two types of stitches used to close the skin after carpal tunnel release surgery. It may help show which stitch type leads to better healing and comfort afterward.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have carpal tunnel symptoms and your doctor plans surgery to release the carpal tunnel
- Your carpal tunnel problem has already been treated enough that surgery is the next step
- You have NOT had carpal tunnel surgery on the same side before
- You have NOT had corticosteroid injections for your carpal tunnel

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 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 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 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.
This study compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.
This trial tests different ways of doing carpal tunnel release surgery to see which works best. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by a nerve test, this study may help improve your hand pain and function.
