Kinesio taping for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests two different kinesio taping techniques to see which better relieves hand numbness, tingling, and pain in people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome, this trial might help you find a non-surgical, non-medication treatment option.
