Comparing injection amounts for carpal tunnel syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different amounts of medicine injected around the nerve in the wrist to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to see if one volume works better for pain and numbness, offering a possible non-surgical option for people whose symptoms haven't improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and a nerve test shows mild to moderate nerve damage.
- You have had pain or tingling in your thumb, index, middle, or part of ring finger for more than 6 months, and basic treatments (like vitamins, pain relievers, or a wrist splint) haven’t helped.
- You have not had carpal tunnel surgery before, and no wrist injection in the last 3 months.
- You do not have other conditions that could cause your symptoms (like pregnancy, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or a nerve injury in your neck or shoulder).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests three types of injections (steroid, ozone, or sugar water) to see which best relieves hand numbness and pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
This study compares three initial treatments for moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection, a nighttime splint, or both together. It aims to find which works best for new episodes of symptoms that started within the last 6 weeks.
This study tests if a steroid injection in the wrist helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome, comparing results between those with and without type 2 diabetes. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel and either well-controlled diabetes or no diabetes, you may be able to join.
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 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 common treatments—a corticosteroid injection or a wrist splint worn at night—for people who have carpal tunnel syndrome along with a rheumatic disease (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus). The goal is to see which works better for relieving symptoms.
