Hand muscle ultrasound for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the hand muscle (thenar muscle) thickness in people with carpal tunnel syndrome and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help evaluate the condition.

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 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.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the median nerve in the wrist of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find common nerve variations that might affect treatment.
This study checks whether a special ultrasound scan can help assess carpal tunnel in one wrist (not both). The results may guide doctors’ understanding of the condition before you get a steroid shot or surgery.
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 trial studies whether ultrasound exam findings match how well you sleep if you have carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help doctors better understand which ultrasound results go along with worse sleep and symptoms.
