Blood flow restriction therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new hand therapy that uses a special band to lightly restrict blood flow while you do exercises. It may help reduce pain, improve grip strength, and nerve function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome.

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 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 a new, less invasive way to release the tight ligament in the wrist that causes carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses ultrasound to guide a curved needle and thread to cut the ligament, which may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
This study tests using a blood pressure cuff during hand therapy to see if it helps reduce ulnar-sided wrist pain and improve hand function.
