Warm wax and mud therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You haven't had steroid shots in the last 3 months or taken steroid pills

This study tests whether taping therapy (kinesiotaping) or a mud pack treatment (peloidotherapy) can help reduce pain and improve function for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may be an option if you want non-surgical, drug-free relief.
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 tests two types of hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: shockwave therapy (5 sessions) or warm paraffin wax (10 sessions). It compares which one better reduces nerve thickening and your symptoms.
This study tests whether warm paraffin wax applied to the forearm and hand can reduce muscle stiffness and pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnet treatment (magnetotherapy) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have this condition and haven't had surgery or certain recent treatments, this may be a drug-free option to explore.
