Comparing two injection volumes for carpal tunnel syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different amounts of numbing medication injected around the nerve in the wrist to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome. The injection is guided by ultrasound to be accurate and may help relieve symptoms like pain and tingling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 20 and 80 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (mild to moderate) by a doctor, confirmed by nerve tests.
- You should have had symptoms (pain, tingling, numbness) in your thumb or first three fingers for more than 6 months that haven't improved with standard treatments like wrist splints or pain meds.
- You must not have had carpal tunnel surgery in the past, and you cannot have had a wrist injection in the last 3 months.
- Your carpal tunnel syndrome must be 'idiopathic' (not caused by another condition like pregnancy, arthritis, or thyroid disease).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests three different injections (a steroid, ozone gas, and a sugar-water solution) to find which best relieves pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome who haven't gotten relief from other treatments. It aims to identify a simple injection option that could ease pain and improve hand function without surgery.
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 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 study compares two common early treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome in people who also have a rheumatic disease (like arthritis): a corticosteroid injection versus wearing a splint at night. It aims to see which option works better at relieving symptoms and improving hand function.
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.
