Ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release and injection for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome that uses ultrasound to guide a needle to release a tight ligament in the wrist and inject a sugar-water solution around the nerve. This may help relieve pain and numbness without surgery.
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 based on symptoms and a nerve test
- Your pain or numbness is at least a 3 on a 0-10 scale
- Your symptoms have lasted for at least 3 months

This trial tests a new, less invasive way to release the tight ligament in the wrist that causes carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses ultrasound to guide a curved needle and thread to cut the ligament, which may lead to less pain and faster recovery.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection and a surgery to take pressure off the median nerve. It aims to see which one provides better relief for symptoms like numbness and tingling.
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 trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a newer needle-based technique called hydrodissection with neuroprolotherapy versus traditional open surgery. If you've tried splints, medications, or physical therapy without relief, this study tests which approach works better and is safer.
This study tests whether combining gentle hand/wrist therapy with a tiny electrical stimulation (needle-like) can improve moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. It is for adults aged 30–50 who have not had previous carpal tunnel surgery and don't have other health issues affecting the nerves or wrist.
This study tests whether adding a common steroid (methylprednisolone) to a dextrose (sugar water) injection works better than dextrose alone for carpal tunnel syndrome. Both treatments are injected into the wrist to reduce pain and numbness.
