Ultrasound and sleep quality check in carpal tunnel
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether ultrasound exam findings match how well you sleep if you have carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help doctors better understand which ultrasound results go along with worse sleep and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using American Academy of Neurology criteria
- You do not have nerve problems in the neck or shoulder that could also affect the median nerve (for example radiculopathy, brachial plexopathy, thoracic outlet syndrome)
- You have not had carpal tunnel surgery before
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have obstructive sleep apnea or certain thyroid/muscle/joint/immune diseases

This study uses ultrasound to look at the median nerve in the wrist of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find common nerve variations that might affect treatment.
This trial tests if ultrasound can help doctors better diagnose and track carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed). It may lead to better treatment and follow-up without extra tests.
This trial compares two ways to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound (using sound waves to look at the nerve) and a nerve conduction study (measuring how well the nerve sends signals). It aims to see which method is better at diagnosing the condition, so you may get a more accurate diagnosis.
This study is testing whether ultrasound can be used to check the size and condition of a hand muscle (the thenar muscle) in people with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess CTS severity.
This study checks whether a special ultrasound scan can help assess carpal tunnel in one wrist (not both). The results may guide doctors’ understanding of the condition before you get a steroid shot or 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.
