Laser acupuncture for carpal tunnel after hand tendon repair
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests if laser acupuncture can help relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in people who have had hand tendon repair surgery. It may offer a non-invasive option for pain and nerve discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial uses low-level light therapy (photobiomodulation) to help heal the nerve in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have symptoms like numbness or tingling in just one hand, this treatment may help improve nerve function without surgery.
This study compares wearing a wrist splint to high-intensity laser therapy for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you if you have mild to moderate symptoms and haven't had recent treatments.
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 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 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.
