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.

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.
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 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 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 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.
