Hand muscle ultrasound for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing whether ultrasound can be used to check the size and condition of a hand muscle (the thenar muscle) in people with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess CTS severity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- Either you have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) confirmed by a nerve test within the last 3 months, or you are healthy without CTS.
- You must be willing to join the study.
- You must not have had surgery for CTS.
- You must not have other nerve or muscle diseases, severe joint problems (advanced osteoarthritis), psychiatric disorders, or cognitive impairments that would affect participation.

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 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.
This study tests a combination of hands-on therapy and a small electrical nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you avoid surgery and find relief from symptoms that have lasted at least 3 months.
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.
