Studying muscle response in carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years or older
- You have carpal tunnel syndrome on one hand, diagnosed by a doctor and confirmed with a nerve test (EMG)
- You are willing to sign a consent form
- You are covered by health insurance or a similar health plan
- You do not have other nerve problems, diabetes, a shoulder injury, or a neck condition
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or under legal guardianship

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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 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 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 trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection (which reduces swelling) and a newer technique called nerve hydrodissection (which uses fluid to free the nerve). The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving hand function.
