Steroid shot for carpal tunnel with split nerve
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a steroid injection helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome who also have a split median nerve (called bifid median nerve). It compares them to people without the split nerve to see if the treatment works differently.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome by a doctor.
- Your carpal tunnel is mild or moderate, confirmed by a nerve test (EMG).
- An ultrasound found that your median nerve is split (bifid).
- You have had typical carpal tunnel symptoms for at least 3 months.
- You do not have other nerve conditions, wrist surgery history, inflammatory arthritis, thyroid issues, or are pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection and a surgery to take pressure off the median nerve. It aims to see which one provides better relief for symptoms like numbness and tingling.
This study tests whether adding a common steroid (methylprednisolone) to a dextrose (sugar water) injection works better than dextrose alone for carpal tunnel syndrome. Both treatments are injected into the wrist to reduce pain and numbness.
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 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 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.
