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.

- 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 trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection or paraffin wax therapy. It aims to find which option works better for people with mild to moderate symptoms lasting at least 3 months.
This study compares different treatments for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you find a non-surgical option to relieve symptoms.
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 soaking your hand and forearm in a warm whirlpool bath can reduce pain and stiffness caused by carpal tunnel syndrome. It may offer a drug-free way to feel better.
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 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.
