Ultrasound study for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome by your doctor.
- Your ultrasound shows a specific measurement of the nerve (cross-sectional area greater than 10 mm²).
- You are scheduled to have carpal tunnel release surgery as part of your regular care.
- You do not have another condition causing your symptoms, such as arthritis, wrist injury, or growths.
- You have not had carpal tunnel surgery on the same hand before.
- You do not have other nerve problems like diabetic nerve damage or a pinched nerve in your neck.
- You are able to have an ultrasound of your wrist.

This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to check for carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing numbness or pain in your hand). It compares people with the condition to healthy volunteers to see if the ultrasound can help diagnose it.
This study tests whether ultrasound imaging can help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist is squeezed, causing numbness and weakness in your hand). It may help doctors better identify the problem without more invasive tests.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the wrist area in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help improve understanding of the condition, which could guide future treatment.
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 uses ultrasound to measure the size of a nerve in your wrist and compares it with your sense of touch. It aims to see if the ultrasound results match how much feeling you have lost in your hand.
This trial compares two ways to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound (using sound waves to look at the nerve) and a nerve conduction study (measuring how well the nerve sends signals). It aims to see which method is better at diagnosing the condition, so you may get a more accurate diagnosis.
