Warm wax therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether applying warm paraffin wax to the forearm and hand can reduce stiffness and pain in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If it works, it may offer a simple, non-surgical way to ease symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if paraffin wax baths and peloidotherapy (mud therapy) help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (a hand nerve condition). It may be a good fit if you haven't had prior wrist surgery, steroid injections, or other nerve problems.
This study tests two types of hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: shockwave therapy (5 sessions) or warm paraffin wax (10 sessions). It compares which one better reduces nerve thickening and your symptoms.
This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce pain and tingling from mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may be an option for people who have not had surgery or recent injections.
This study compares different wrist splint positions to find which one works best for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to help reduce symptoms like numbness and tingling.
This study looks at whether adding heat therapy to standard care helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome feel better. If you join, you may receive heat therapy along with regular physiotherapy to see if it improves your symptoms more than physiotherapy alone.
This trial tests if adding ozone therapy to a wrist splint helps relieve mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain. It compares the combination to a splint alone.
