Ultrasound test for carpal tunnel syndrome sensation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome through a nerve test.
- You have had symptoms like pain, numbness, burning, or tingling in your hand for at least 6 weeks.
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You can read and write.
- You do not have other nerve diseases like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis.

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 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.
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 hand ultrasound to evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the wrist changes after treatment.
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 study compares two types of therapy — radiofrequency (TECAR) and ultrasound — to see which works better for improving hand feeling, dexterity, and quality of life in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, you might join to find a non-surgical treatment that could help you.
