Cooling therapy to reduce pain after open carpal tunnel surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies whether cooling (cold therapy) can lessen pain after open carpal tunnel release surgery. If you’re having this surgery, your answers to questionnaires and your current pain-medication status will determine whether you can join.

- Be 18 years old or older
- Be scheduled for open carpal tunnel release surgery
- Be able to fill out online questionnaires

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 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.
This study tests whether combining a special type of pain education with standard rehabilitation helps people with moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome feel better and improve hand function. It aims to help you understand your pain and recover.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a newer needle-based technique called hydrodissection with neuroprolotherapy versus traditional open surgery. If you've tried splints, medications, or physical therapy without relief, this study tests which approach works better and is safer.
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 looks at how different types of carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers) respond to treatment. It aims to find out which treatments work best for each type, so you can get more personalized care.
