Surgery for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–75 years
- Confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed by nerve testing (ENMG or ENEG) within the past year
- Symptoms for at least 3 months that haven't improved with conservative treatments like wrist splints
- Willing and able to have carpal tunnel release surgery
- Living independently and able to complete symptom questionnaires on a device (phone, tablet, or computer)
- No significant hand trauma, previous carpal tunnel surgery, or other conditions affecting hand function

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 study compares different non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, such as hand exercises and other therapies. It aims to find the best way to reduce hand pain, tingling, and numbness.
This study tests a new way to treat carpal tunnel syndrome in the right hand without surgery. It may help people with mild to moderate symptoms who have not had recent injections or other treatments.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: an ultrasound-guided injection and a surgery to take pressure off the median nerve. It aims to see which one provides better relief for symptoms like numbness and tingling.
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 tests two types of hand treatments—nerve gliding exercises and moving the small wrist bones—to see if they help improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel, these therapies might reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
