Laser therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests high-intensity laser therapy as a treatment for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to see if the laser can improve symptoms and hand function without surgery or injections.

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 compares different non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, such as hand exercises and other therapies. It aims to find the best way to reduce hand pain, tingling, and numbness.
This study compares wearing a wrist splint to high-intensity laser therapy for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you if you have mild to moderate symptoms and haven't had recent treatments.
This study tests whether a type of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) can help relieve leg pain caused by a herniated disc in the lower back. It is for people who have not had recent back treatments or 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.
