Magnet therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnet treatment (magnetotherapy) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have this condition and haven't had surgery or certain recent treatments, this may be a drug-free option to explore.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have been diagnosed with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome based on nerve tests (EMG) and a physical exam
- You have not had carpal tunnel surgery in the past
- You do not have diabetes, a rheumatoid condition, or an active infection
- You are not pregnant, and do not have an implanted electronic device like a pacemaker
- You have not had wrist therapy or a steroid injection in the last 6 months, and you don't regularly take certain pain medications (such as pregabalin or NSAIDs)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
This study tests two types of hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: shockwave therapy (5 sessions) or warm paraffin wax (10 sessions). It compares which one better reduces nerve thickening and your symptoms.
This study tests whether a non-invasive magnetic device applied to the wrist can reduce pain and tingling in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It compares this treatment to standard care to see if it helps nerve function and symptoms.
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 trial tests if paraffin wax baths and peloidotherapy (mud therapy) help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (a hand nerve condition). It may be a good fit if you haven't had prior wrist surgery, steroid injections, or other nerve problems.
This study tests if retraining how your hand feels (sensory re-education) or special nerve stretches (neural mobilization) work better for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It's for those who have pain, tingling, or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
