Minimally invasive carpal tunnel release using KeriKnife
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new, less invasive tool (the KeriKnife) for carpal tunnel release surgery. It may help people with severe carpal tunnel syndrome recover faster with less scarring.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old.
- You have severe carpal tunnel syndrome, confirmed by a nerve test (electromyography).
- You do not have any other condition affecting the same hand (like arthritis or injury).
- You have never had carpal tunnel surgery on that hand before.
- You do not have a nerve disorder or a bleeding problem that would make surgery risky.

This study compares two surgical approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome—one that releases pressure on the median nerve in one location versus releasing it in two locations. The goal is to find out which approach works better for relieving symptoms like numbness and tingling in the hand.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection (which reduces swelling) and a newer technique called nerve hydrodissection (which uses fluid to free the nerve). The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving hand function.
This study tests whether a special ultrasound scan can help doctors better see and treat carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition that causes numbness and pain in the hand. If you have mild to moderate symptoms, this imaging tool may guide more precise care.
This trial studies how well surgery helps carpal tunnel syndrome. You may be able to join if you have typical symptoms and a nerve test confirming the diagnosis.
This study tests if retraining how your hand feels (sensory re-education) or special nerve stretches (neural mobilization) work better for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It's for those who have pain, tingling, or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
This study uses hand ultrasound to evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the wrist changes after treatment.
