Ultrasound study of median nerve variations in carpal tunnel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had carpal tunnel symptoms (like numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand) for more than 3 months.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome has been confirmed by an EMG test.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have a history of nerve conditions like polyneuropathy, or prior wrist surgery.
- You do not have conditions like inflammatory arthritis, hypothyroidism, pregnancy, rheumatological disorders, or diabetes.
- You do not have peripheral vascular disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 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 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 study looks at whether your body weight is related to the size of the nerve in your wrist (median nerve) in carpal tunnel syndrome. It will use ultrasound to measure the nerve and help understand how body weight might affect the condition.
