Injections for carpal tunnel syndrome pain
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests three different injections (a steroid, ozone gas, and a sugar-water solution) to find which best relieves pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome who haven't gotten relief from other treatments. It aims to identify a simple injection option that could ease pain and improve hand function without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests a new treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome that uses ultrasound to guide a needle to release a tight ligament in the wrist and inject a sugar-water solution around the nerve. This may help relieve pain and numbness without surgery.
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.
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 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.
