Carpal tunnel surgery study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- Your carpal tunnel syndrome must be confirmed by a nerve test (ENMG).
- You should be able to answer questionnaires on your own.
- You cannot have had carpal tunnel surgery before (on the same hand).
- You cannot be taking steroids, chemotherapy, or immune-suppressing medications.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding, and you cannot have other nerve damage conditions.

This study looks at how well hand function and nerve signals recover after carpal tunnel release surgery. It measures improvements over time to help understand the healing process.
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 ways of performing carpal tunnel release surgery: the standard open technique and a method using ultrasound to guide the surgeon. The goal is to see if one approach leads to better results, and you will be assigned to one of the two methods.
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 uses hand ultrasound to evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the wrist changes after treatment.
