4-AP for carpal tunnel syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a medicine called 4-AP (also known as Ampyra) to see if it can improve hand symptoms in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It is a 6-week treatment that you take twice a day, and the study will check if it helps with your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome that is not caused by an injury.
- You have had a nerve test (called EDX) within the last 6 months.
- You are between 18 and 90 years old.
- You are able to take the study medicine twice a day for 6 weeks.
- You are able to attend all study visits and can report your symptoms clearly.
- You do not have other nerve or brain conditions like multiple sclerosis or stroke.

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 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 how small nerve fibers work in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses simple sensory tests to understand nerve function, which may help guide treatment.
This trial tests a medication called 4-AP to see if it helps nerves in an injured arm or leg heal better. It is for people whose nerve injury might heal on its own, when doctors are not sure if surgery is needed.
This study tests a single dose of a medication (4-aminopyridine) to help doctors see if a damaged vocal cord nerve is still connected and might recover. It does this by temporarily improving nerve signaling, which could help guide treatment decisions after an injury.
