Comparing wrist splint positions for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares how wearing a wrist splint in different positions affects carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. It may help you understand the best way to use a splint for relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (confirmed by a nerve test in the last year)
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have not had prior surgery or steroid injections for CTS
- You have not had physical therapy for CTS in the last 6 months
- You do not have other conditions like nerve problems, arthritis, or pregnancy

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.
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.
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 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 tests two types of gentle hand and wrist movements (mobilizations) to see which better relieves pain, tingling, and numbness in carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you if you have these symptoms and are otherwise healthy.
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.
