Steroid injections and nerve hydrodissection for carpal tunnel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection (which reduces swelling) and a newer technique called nerve hydrodissection (which uses fluid to free the nerve). The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving hand function.

This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pulsed radiofrequency (a needle that uses heat to calm nerves) and hyaluronidase hydrodissection (a fluid injection to separate tissues). The goal is to see which one better reduces your symptoms.
This study tests whether adding a nerve block near the neck to a fluid injection around the wrist nerve gives more relief for carpal tunnel syndrome than the fluid injection alone. It is for people with mild to moderate symptoms that have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests different ways of doing carpal tunnel release surgery to see which works best. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by a nerve test, this study may help improve your hand pain and function.
This trial tests whether hyaluronic acid injections can relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, compared to standard steroid shots. It may help avoid surgery for people with mild to moderate symptoms.
This study compares three different injections for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling in your hand. The goal is to see which injection works best to relieve symptoms.
This study compares two different amounts of numbing medication injected around the nerve in the wrist to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome. The injection is guided by ultrasound to be accurate and may help relieve symptoms like pain and tingling.
