Testing a hand symptom scale for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and can read and write.
- You were diagnosed with mild or moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand at least 6 months ago, based on a nerve test.
- You have had numbness or weakness in your hand for at least 3 months.
- You do not have diabetes, and you have not had medical treatment, injections, or surgery for your hand condition.
- You have not had a neck nerve problem or a condition affecting many nerves (like polyneuropathy).
- You have not had a steroid injection into your wrist or been in a physical therapy program in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether certain hand function tests are reliable and accurate for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It helps doctors better understand how the condition affects your hand use.
This study looks at how your muscles react during a specific test for carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and could help improve diagnosis.
This study is testing if a special camera that measures heat from your hand can help doctors diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. People with possible carpal tunnel symptoms who are already scheduled for nerve testing may be able to join.
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 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.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to check for carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing numbness or pain in your hand). It compares people with the condition to healthy volunteers to see if the ultrasound can help diagnose it.
