Comparing Injections for Carpal Tunnel Pain Relief
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests three types of injections (steroid, ozone, or sugar water) to see which best relieves hand numbness and pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed by a nerve test (nerve conduction study).
- Your symptoms have not improved after at least 6 weeks of simple treatments like a wrist splint, activity changes, or pills.
- You have not had a steroid injection in your wrist within the last 6 months.
- You do not have severe carpal tunnel that needs surgery, wrist injuries or surgery, diabetes, thyroid problems, or rheumatoid arthritis.

This study compares two different amounts of medicine injected around the nerve in the wrist to treat carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to see if one volume works better for pain and numbness, offering a possible non-surgical option for people whose symptoms haven't improved with other treatments.
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 compares two common injection treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome not yet requiring surgery. It tests whether hyaluronic acid works as well as corticosteroids to relieve numbness and pain.
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.
