Compare night-only versus full-time splinting for carpal tunnel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether wearing a wrist splint only at night works as well as wearing it full-time for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It may help you find the most helpful and practical splint schedule to reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) along with wearing a night wrist splint can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical option.
This trial compares two gentle hand therapies (myofascial release vs. acupressure) for new mothers with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find which treatment better relieves hand numbness and pain.
This trial tests two types of hand and wrist exercises to see if they can improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. It compares nerve gliding exercises with a technique that gently moves the small bones in your wrist to reduce pressure on the nerve.
This study tests whether combining gentle hand/wrist therapy with a tiny electrical stimulation (needle-like) can improve moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. It is for adults aged 30–50 who have not had previous carpal tunnel surgery and don't have other health issues affecting the nerves or wrist.
This study compares three initial treatments for moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection, a nighttime splint, or both together. It aims to find which works best for new episodes of symptoms that started within the last 6 weeks.
