Comparing two hand therapies for carpal tunnel relief
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests two types of hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: shockwave therapy (5 sessions) or warm paraffin wax (10 sessions). It compares which one better reduces nerve thickening and your symptoms.
This study compares two types of therapy — radiofrequency (TECAR) and ultrasound — to see which works better for improving hand feeling, dexterity, and quality of life in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, you might join to find a non-surgical treatment that could help you.
This study tests whether a hand-related questionnaire called the MAP-Hand Scale is a reliable and accurate tool for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand, your answers could help improve how doctors measure symptoms.
This trial tests different ways of doing carpal tunnel release surgery to see which works best. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by a nerve test, this study may help improve your hand pain and function.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pulsed radiofrequency (a needle that uses heat to calm nerves) and hyaluronidase hydrodissection (a fluid injection to separate tissues). The goal is to see which one better reduces your symptoms.
This study tests a therapy called graded motor imagery, which uses mental exercises and mirror training to help reduce pain and improve hand function. It is designed for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand.
