Wrist splint positions for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares different wrist splint positions to find which one works best for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to help reduce symptoms like numbness and tingling.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares three ways to start treating moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome: a steroid injection, wearing a splint at night, or both. The goal is to see which approach works best to relieve symptoms.
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 compares two common early treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome in people who also have a rheumatic disease (like arthritis): a corticosteroid injection versus wearing a splint at night. It aims to see which option works better at relieving symptoms and improving hand function.
This study looks at how quickly symptoms like tingling or numbness in your hand go back to normal after a simple wrist-flexion test that doctors use to check for carpal tunnel syndrome. The results may help doctors better understand your condition and guide treatment.
This study tests a therapy called graded motor imagery, which uses mental exercises and mirror training to help reduce pain and improve hand function. It is designed for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand.
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.
