Hand exercises for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests two types of hand treatments—nerve gliding exercises and moving the small wrist bones—to see if they help improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel, these therapies might reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 study tests surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand. You may qualify if you have confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome and conservative treatments like splints haven't helped.
This study tests a new way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome in the right hand without surgery. It may help people with mild to moderate symptoms who have not had recent injections or other treatments.
This study looks at how different types of carpal tunnel syndrome (a nerve condition in your wrist) respond to treatment. By classifying your specific symptoms, doctors hope to tailor therapy to your needs.
This study tests how small nerve fibers work in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses simple sensory tests to understand nerve function, which may help guide treatment.
