Light therapy for nerve recovery in carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses low-level light therapy (photobiomodulation) to help heal the nerve in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have symptoms like numbness or tingling in just one hand, this treatment may help improve nerve function without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in just one hand, confirmed by a doctor's tests and a nerve study.
- You have not had light therapy on your wrist in the last 3 months.
- You can attend treatment sessions 3 times a week for 4 weeks.
- You have not had steroid injections in your wrist in the last 3 months.
- You do not have conditions like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or pregnancy that would exclude you.

This study tests whether low-level laser therapy can improve symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
This study compares wearing a wrist splint to high-intensity laser therapy for treating carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you if you have mild to moderate symptoms and haven't had recent treatments.
This trial tests if laser acupuncture can help relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in people who have had hand tendon repair surgery. It may offer a non-invasive option for pain and nerve discomfort.
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 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 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.
