Osteopathic manipulation vs. wrist brace for carpal tunnel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether osteopathic manipulation (a gentle hands-on treatment) works better than wearing a wrist brace for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild or moderate carpal tunnel and haven't had surgery, this trial might help find a non-surgical option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
