Mud therapy vs. paraffin wax for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments—mud therapy (peloid) and paraffin wax—for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to see which one better eases symptoms like numbness, tingling, and hand pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (confirmed with a nerve test).
- Your symptoms have lasted at least 3 months.
- You do not have other nerve conditions, such as polyneuropathy or thoracic outlet syndrome.
- You have not had any prior carpal tunnel injections or surgery in the affected hand.

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 study tests whether a warm whirlpool bath can reduce stiffness and pain in the forearm and hand of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If it works, it could be a simple, drug-free way to ease symptoms.
This study compares two ways of applying kinesiotape (a stretchy tape placed on the skin) to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand. If you have mild to moderate symptoms, this trial might help you find a non-surgical way to feel better.
