Magnetic stimulation for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new, non-invasive treatment called repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) for carpal tunnel syndrome. It's painless and uses magnetic pulses to help reduce pain and tingling, and may improve hand function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms like pain, tingling, or numbness in your thumb or first three fingers.
- A doctor's exam (Tinel's or Phalen's) and nerve test show mild or moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
- You haven't had surgery, physical therapy, or injections for carpal tunnel in the last 6 months.
- You don't have other nerve problems, wrist fractures, or conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease, or pregnancy.
- You don't have a pacemaker or cochlear implant.

This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic therapy applied to the skin can reduce chronic pain from tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, or carpal tunnel syndrome. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerves and may help relieve pain without medication or surgery.
This study tests whether magnetotherapy (using magnetic fields) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you qualify, you may receive this non-invasive treatment as an alternative to more invasive options.
This trial tests a non-invasive therapy called photobiomodulation, which uses low-level light to reduce pain and help the nerve in your wrist recover. It could be an option for people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome who want to avoid surgery.
This study tests whether shock wave therapy — a non-invasive treatment using sound waves — can help reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. The trial aims to see if this treatment works and how well it is tolerated.
This study compares two types of therapy — radiofrequency (TECAR) and ultrasound — to see which works better for improving hand feeling, dexterity, and quality of life in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, you might join to find a non-surgical treatment that could help you.
This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce pain and tingling from mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may be an option for people who have not had surgery or recent injections.
