Hand exercises for carpal tunnel in pregnancy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares three types of hand and wrist exercises to see which works best for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome during pregnancy. It may help reduce pain and improve hand function.

This study tests two types of hand therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: shockwave therapy (5 sessions) or warm paraffin wax (10 sessions). It compares which one better reduces nerve thickening and your symptoms.
This study tests a therapy called graded motor imagery, which uses mental exercises and mirror training to help reduce pain and improve hand function. It is designed for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand.
This study compares different wrist splint positions to find which one works best for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to help reduce symptoms like numbness and tingling.
This study tests two types of gentle hand and wrist movements (mobilizations) to see which better relieves pain, tingling, and numbness in carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you if you have these symptoms and are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests if paraffin wax baths and peloidotherapy (mud therapy) help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (a hand nerve condition). It may be a good fit if you haven't had prior wrist surgery, steroid injections, or other nerve problems.
This study tests whether osteopathic manipulation (a gentle hands-on treatment) works better than wearing a wrist brace for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild or moderate carpal tunnel and haven't had surgery, this trial might help find a non-surgical option.
