Nerve size and body weight in carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether your body weight is related to the size of the nerve in your wrist (median nerve) in carpal tunnel syndrome. It will use ultrasound to measure the nerve and help understand how body weight might affect the condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome based on symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand at night.
- Your diagnosis was confirmed with a nerve test (electromyography or nerve conduction study).
- Your carpal tunnel is not caused by another condition like diabetes, thyroid disease, arthritis, or kidney failure.
- You have not had wrist surgery, injury, or a cortisone injection in the wrist in the last 6 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study uses ultrasound to look at the median nerve in the wrist of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find common nerve variations that might affect treatment.
This study tests how small nerve fibers work in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses simple sensory tests to understand nerve function, which may help guide treatment.
This study is testing whether ultrasound can be used to check the size and condition of a hand muscle (the thenar muscle) in people with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess CTS severity.
This study tests surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand. You may qualify if you have confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome and conservative treatments like splints haven't helped.
This study tests a combination of hands-on therapy and a small electrical nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you avoid surgery and find relief from symptoms that have lasted at least 3 months.
This trial tests if ultrasound can help doctors better diagnose and track carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed). It may lead to better treatment and follow-up without extra tests.
