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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if paraffin wax baths and peloidotherapy (mud therapy) help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (a hand nerve condition). It may be a good fit if you haven't had prior wrist surgery, steroid injections, or other nerve problems.
This study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a special type of radiofrequency (a heat-based nerve treatment) and an injection of hyaluronidase (a fluid that separates tissues around the nerve). Both are done with ultrasound guidance. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving hand function.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan can help doctors better see and treat carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition that causes numbness and pain in the hand. If you have mild to moderate symptoms, this imaging tool may guide more precise care.
This study compares two different amounts of medicine injected around the nerve in the wrist to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to see if one volume works better for pain and numbness, offering a possible non-surgical option for people whose symptoms haven't improved with other treatments.
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 compares two common injection treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome not yet requiring surgery. It tests whether hyaluronic acid works as well as corticosteroids to relieve numbness and pain.
