Energy therapy for hand function after burn and carpal tunnel
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a special therapy that uses energy (capacitive and resistive) to improve hand function in people who have carpal tunnel syndrome after a burn injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can help you use your hand better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (numbness or tingling in your hand).
- You had a burn on your arm or hand that covered 20% to 25% of your body surface and was a 2nd or 3rd degree burn.
- You do not have diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, thyroid problems, skin diseases, cancer, or a past wrist fracture.
- You have not used a hand or wrist splint in the past 3 months.
- You do not have a pacemaker or other electrical implant.

This trial compares two gentle hand therapies (myofascial release vs. acupressure) for new mothers with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find which treatment better relieves hand numbness and pain.
This study tests a type of physical therapy called TECAR (transfer energy capacitive and resistive therapy) for Dupuytren's contracture, a condition where cords form in the palm and bend fingers. The goal is to see if it can help reduce finger bending without surgery.
This study tests a new hand therapy that uses a special band to lightly restrict blood flow while you do exercises. It may help reduce pain, improve grip strength, and nerve function in people with carpal tunnel syndrome.
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 trial tests if a special type of sound wave therapy (ESWT) can help restore hand movement and feeling in people who have nerve damage and thick scars from a burn on their dominant hand. It may offer a new way to improve hand function after a burn injury.
This study tests whether combining gentle hand/wrist therapy with a tiny electrical stimulation (needle-like) can improve moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. It is for adults aged 30–50 who have not had previous carpal tunnel surgery and don't have other health issues affecting the nerves or wrist.
