Steroid shot, night splint, or both for carpal tunnel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares three ways to start treating moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome: a steroid injection, wearing a splint at night, or both. The goal is to see which approach works best to relieve symptoms.

This study compares two common early treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome in people who also have a rheumatic disease (like arthritis): a corticosteroid injection versus wearing a splint at night. It aims to see which option works better at relieving symptoms and improving hand function.
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 compares different wrist splint positions to find which one works best for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to help reduce symptoms like numbness and tingling.
This study compares two different amounts of numbing medication injected around the nerve in the wrist to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome. The injection is guided by ultrasound to be accurate and may help relieve symptoms like pain and tingling.
This study compares three different injections for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling in your hand. The goal is to see which injection works best to relieve symptoms.
This trial tests whether hyaluronic acid injections can relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, compared to standard steroid shots. It may help avoid surgery for people with mild to moderate symptoms.
