Carpal tunnel release: how well does it work?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies how well surgery helps carpal tunnel syndrome. You may be able to join if you have typical symptoms and a nerve test confirming the diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by a nerve test
- You have typical symptoms like numbness or tingling in your fingers
- You can understand and fill out questionnaires
- You are 18 years or older
- You have not had carpal tunnel surgery before
- You are not on strong medications that affect your immune system

This study compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.
This trial tests whether adding a special membrane (amniotic membrane) and a natural healing fluid (secretome) to standard carpal tunnel release surgery can improve hand function better than surgery alone. It may be a good option if your wrist pain and numbness haven't gone away 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 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 study uses hand ultrasound to evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the wrist changes after treatment.
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.
