Comparing two therapies for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if retraining how your hand feels (sensory re-education) or special nerve stretches (neural mobilization) work better for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It's for those who have pain, tingling, or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two types of gentle hand and wrist movements (mobilizations) to see which better relieves pain, tingling, and numbness in carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you if you have these symptoms and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests whether taping therapy (kinesiotaping) or a mud pack treatment (peloidotherapy) can help reduce pain and improve function for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may be an option if you want non-surgical, drug-free relief.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection (which reduces swelling) and a newer technique called nerve hydrodissection (which uses fluid to free the nerve). The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving hand function.
This study compares two treatments, radiofrequency (TECAR) and ultrasound, to see which one improves sensation, hand dexterity, and quality of life for people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you are between 35 and 50 and have had symptoms for at least a month, you may be able to join.
This study compares three initial treatments for moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection, a nighttime splint, or both together. It aims to find which works best for new episodes of symptoms that started within the last 6 weeks.
This study compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.
