Hand Wrinkling Study for CF Carriers
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how quickly hands wrinkle in water for people who are carriers of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene. The researchers hope to learn if this simple test could help identify CF carriers, and your participation could help answer that question.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a carrier of the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene but not have cystic fibrosis yourself.
- Your hands must be free of open wounds, tattoos, or missing parts.
- You cannot have certain conditions (like diabetes, severe sweating, Raynaud's disease, or eczema) or take specific blood pressure medicines (ACE inhibitors or ARBs).
- You must be able to speak English and give written consent.

This study looks at how systemic sclerosis (a condition that can cause hardening of the skin) affects hand function. It aims to understand the problems people face and find better ways to help.
This trial studies chronic hand eczema (and sometimes related atopic skin disease) to better understand your condition and what may be going on in the skin. You may be asked to follow a study plan for a set period and avoid certain treatments just before joining.
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 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 tests whether a warm whirlpool bath can reduce stiffness and pain in the forearm and hand of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If it works, it could be a simple, drug-free way to ease symptoms.
This study tests whether a person's own fat cells (processed into regenerative cells) can be injected into the hands to improve hand function and reduce skin thickening in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). It’s designed for people whose hand problems are significant but not too severe.
