Steroid injection for carpal tunnel with diabetes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if a steroid injection in the wrist helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome, comparing results between those with and without type 2 diabetes. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel and either well-controlled diabetes or no diabetes, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have carpal tunnel symptoms (like pain or numbness) for at least 3 months
- A nerve test shows your carpal tunnel is mild or moderate, not severe
- Either you have type 2 diabetes with good blood sugar control (HbA1c under 7%), or you do not have diabetes
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have not had wrist surgery, and no recent steroid injection or physical therapy for carpal tunnel in the last 6 months

This study compares two different amounts of medicine injected around the nerve in the wrist to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to see if one volume works better for pain and numbness, offering a possible non-surgical option for people whose symptoms haven't improved with other treatments.
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.
This trial tests three types of injections (steroid, ozone, or sugar water) to see which best relieves hand numbness and pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
This trial compares two common injection treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome not yet requiring surgery. It tests whether hyaluronic acid works as well as corticosteroids to relieve numbness and pain.
This study compares two common treatments—a corticosteroid injection or a wrist splint worn at night—for people who have carpal tunnel syndrome along with a rheumatic disease (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus). The goal is to see which works better for relieving symptoms.
This study compares three initial treatments for moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection, a nighttime splint, or both together. It aims to find which works best for new episodes of symptoms that started within the last 6 weeks.
