Patient views on optional musculoskeletal tests
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study asks patients with non-traumatic muscle or joint conditions about their preferences when deciding whether to take a voluntary test. Your answers could help doctors better understand what matters to patients like you.

This study looks at how your muscles react during a specific test for carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and could help improve diagnosis.
This study tests whether a hand-related questionnaire called the MAP-Hand Scale is a reliable and accurate tool for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand, your answers could help improve how doctors measure symptoms.
This study looks at how people with long-term tennis elbow (lateral elbow pain) think about their condition and what they hope from treatment. It aims to better understand patients' views to improve care.
This study is testing if a special camera that measures heat from your hand can help doctors diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. People with possible carpal tunnel symptoms who are already scheduled for nerve testing may be able to join.
This study tests if retraining how your hand feels (sensory re-education) or special nerve stretches (neural mobilization) work better for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It's for those who have pain, tingling, or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
This trial builds and studies a national database that collects patient-reported outcomes (answers about symptoms and function) and patient/clinic information for musculoskeletal (muscle and joint) care. It may help improve how these services are delivered by showing what works in real-world primary/community care.
