This study tests whether ear acupuncture (auriculotherapy) helps reduce pain after thumb arthritis surgery. If you're having this surgery and haven't tried ear acupuncture before, you may be able to join.
This trial studies whether cooling (cold therapy) can lessen pain after open carpal tunnel release surgery. If you’re having this surgery, your answers to questionnaires and your current pain-medication status will determine whether you can join.
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.
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation placed on the ear (tAuricular Neurostimulation) can help reduce pain and improve recovery after lumbar spine surgery. It is for people who are already scheduled for a lumbar fusion or laminectomy and want to see if this non-invasive approach can ease their post-surgery discomfort.
This trial tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation on the outer ear can help reduce the amount of strong pain medicine (opioids) you need after a major abdominal surgery. The stimulation targets a nerve called the vagus nerve, which helps control pain and recovery.
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.
