Patient choices for voluntary muscle and joint tests
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Skin clinical trials.
This study asks people with muscle or joint problems (like arthritis, carpal tunnel, or tennis elbow) about what matters to them when deciding whether to have a test like an X-ray or MRI. You'll talk through a pretend scenario and answer survey questions to help doctors better understand patient preferences.

This study looks at how people understand their elbow pain and what they expect from treatment. By answering questionnaires, you can help doctors better support patients with this condition.
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 trial tests different ways of doing carpal tunnel release surgery to see which works best. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by a nerve test, this study may help improve your hand pain and function.
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 trial evaluates a simple, non-invasive device to measure hand muscle strength in women with carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to better understand how muscle strength is affected, which could help guide treatment.
