Hyaluronic acid shots for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether hyaluronic acid injections can relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, compared to standard steroid shots. It may help avoid surgery for people with mild to moderate symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have numbness or pain in the thumb, index, middle, or part of ring finger.
- Nerve tests show carpal tunnel syndrome.
- An ultrasound shows a slightly enlarged nerve at the wrist (more than 12 mm²).
- You have not had previous carpal tunnel surgery or injections.
- You have not improved with nonsurgical treatment.
- No infection at the injection site.

This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pulsed radiofrequency (a needle that uses heat to calm nerves) and hyaluronidase hydrodissection (a fluid injection to separate tissues). The goal is to see which one better reduces your symptoms.
This study compares three different injections for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling in your hand. The goal is to see which injection works best to relieve symptoms.
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 study compares two different amounts of numbing medication injected around the nerve in the wrist to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome. The injection is guided by ultrasound to be accurate and may help relieve symptoms like pain and tingling.
This study tests whether adding a nerve block near the neck to a fluid injection around the wrist nerve gives more relief for carpal tunnel syndrome than the fluid injection alone. It is for people with mild to moderate symptoms that have not improved with other treatments.
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.
