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 study tests two types of hand treatments—nerve gliding exercises and moving the small wrist bones—to see if they help improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel, these therapies might reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
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 different non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, such as hand exercises and other therapies. It aims to find the best way to reduce hand pain, tingling, and numbness.
This study compares two common early treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome in people who also have a rheumatic disease (like arthritis): a corticosteroid injection versus wearing a splint at night. It aims to see which option works better at relieving symptoms and improving hand function.
