Nerve sensitivity in carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how ultrasound, nerve tests, and hand function relate to carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to improve understanding of the condition and may help guide future treatment decisions.
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 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.
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 where carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms show up and how your body processes pain. By understanding this, doctors hope to find better ways to treat it.
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.
