Acupressure for carpal tunnel in pregnancy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether acupressure (gentle finger pressure on specific points) can help relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms during pregnancy. It is for women in their third trimester who have mild to moderate pain or numbness in their hands.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two gentle hand therapies (myofascial release vs. acupressure) for new mothers with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find which treatment better relieves hand numbness and pain.
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 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 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 tests two different kinesio taping techniques to see which better relieves hand numbness, tingling, and pain in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, this trial might help you find a non-surgical, non-medication treatment option.
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.
