Two needle treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pulsed radiofrequency (a needle that uses heat to calm nerves) and hyaluronidase hydrodissection (a fluid injection to separate tissues). The goal is to see which one better reduces your symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You have had carpal tunnel symptoms (like numbness or tingling) for at least 3 months.
- A nerve test shows you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
- You have not had prior treatment for carpal tunnel in the affected hand.
- You do not have conditions like nerve damage, previous wrist surgery, bleeding problems, or are not pregnant.

This trial tests whether hyaluronic acid injections can relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, compared to standard steroid shots. It may help avoid surgery for people with mild to moderate symptoms.
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.
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.
This study compares three different injections for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling in your hand. The goal is to see which injection works best to relieve symptoms.
This study tests whether adding a nerve block near the neck to a fluid injection around the wrist nerve gives more relief for carpal tunnel syndrome than the fluid injection alone. It is for people with mild to moderate symptoms that have not improved with other treatments.
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.
