Radiofrequency or Hyaluronidase for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a special type of radiofrequency (a heat-based nerve treatment) and an injection of hyaluronidase (a fluid that separates tissues around the nerve). Both are done with ultrasound guidance. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving hand function.

- Your symptoms are mild to moderate (confirmed by a nerve test).
- You have not had any previous treatment for carpal tunnel in the affected hand.
- You do not have other nerve conditions, wrist trauma, or a history of wrist surgery.

This trial compares two common injection treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome not yet requiring surgery. It tests whether hyaluronic acid works as well as corticosteroids to relieve numbness and pain.
This study compares two treatments, radiofrequency (TECAR) and ultrasound, to see which one improves sensation, hand dexterity, and quality of life for people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you are between 35 and 50 and have had symptoms for at least a month, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan can help doctors better see and treat carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition that causes numbness and pain in the hand. If you have mild to moderate symptoms, this imaging tool may guide more precise care.
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 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 compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.
