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

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 study compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a newer injection-based approach (hydrodissection with neuroprolotherapy) and the traditional open surgery. It aims to see which one works better for people who haven't improved with standard treatments like splints or physical therapy.
This study tests a combination of hands-on therapy and a small electrical nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you avoid surgery and find relief from symptoms that have lasted at least 3 months.
This trial tests if ultrasound can help doctors better diagnose and track carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed). It may lead to better treatment and follow-up without extra tests.
