Hand therapy for carpal tunnel in new mothers
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two gentle hand therapies (myofascial release vs. acupressure) for new mothers with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find which treatment better relieves hand numbness and pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether acupressure (gentle finger pressure on specific points) can help relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms during pregnancy. It is for women in their third trimester who have mild to moderate pain or numbness in their hands.
This study tests whether combining gentle hand/wrist therapy with a tiny electrical stimulation (needle-like) can improve moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. It is for adults aged 30–50 who have not had previous carpal tunnel surgery and don't have other health issues affecting the nerves or wrist.
This study tests surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand. You may qualify if you have confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome and conservative treatments like splints haven't helped.
This trial tests whether N-acetylcysteine (NAC) along with wearing a night wrist splint can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical option.
This trial tests two types of hand and wrist exercises to see if they can improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. It compares nerve gliding exercises with a technique that gently moves the small bones in your wrist to reduce pressure on the nerve.
This study tests two different kinesio taping techniques to see which better relieves hand numbness, tingling, and pain in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, this trial might help you find a non-surgical, non-medication treatment option.
