Therapy for hand function after burns with carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special type of physical therapy that uses energy to help improve hand function in people who have carpal tunnel syndrome after a burn. The therapy may help reduce pain and improve how well you can use your hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 to 40 years old.
- You have a burn on your arm or hand that covered 20% to 25% of your body.
- Your burn was second or third degree and you now have symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (like numbness or tingling in your hand).
- You have not used a hand or wrist splint in the past 3 months.
- You do not have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or other nerve or wrist problems.

This study tests whether adding a special sensory and movement training program to regular physical therapy can better relieve pain, numbness, and tingling, and improve hand function in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.
This study tests a non-invasive treatment that uses energy to heat deep tissue in the hand, which may help soften the thickened cords and reduce finger bending caused by palmar fibromatosis (Dupuytren's disease). It is for people with mild to moderate contractures who have not had surgery or injections.
This study compares two types of therapy — radiofrequency (TECAR) and ultrasound — to see which works better for improving hand feeling, dexterity, and quality of life in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have moderate carpal tunnel syndrome, you might join to find a non-surgical treatment that could help you.
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 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 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.
