Hand function tests for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether certain hand function tests are reliable and accurate for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It helps doctors better understand how the condition affects your hand use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a hand-related questionnaire called the MAP-Hand Scale is a reliable and accurate tool for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand, your answers could help improve how doctors measure symptoms.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the size of a nerve in your wrist and compares it with your sense of touch. It aims to see if the ultrasound results match how much feeling you have lost in your hand.
This study looks at how your muscles react during a specific test for carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and could help improve diagnosis.
This trial evaluates a simple, non-invasive device to measure hand muscle strength in women with carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to better understand how muscle strength is affected, which could help guide treatment.
This study looks at how well hand function and nerve signals recover after carpal tunnel release surgery. It measures improvements over time to help understand the healing process.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to check for carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing numbness or pain in your hand). It compares people with the condition to healthy volunteers to see if the ultrasound can help diagnose it.
