Kinesiotaping for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of applying kinesiotape (a stretchy tape placed on the skin) to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand. If you have mild to moderate symptoms, this trial might help you find a non-surgical way to feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests if red kinesiology tape can help reduce symptoms like numbness, tingling, and pain in the hands and wrists of esports players who play over 5 hours a week. If you have carpal tunnel-like symptoms, this trial might help you find a non-surgical option.
This study tests surgical treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome—a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets compressed, causing numbness, tingling, or pain in your hand. You may qualify if you have confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome and conservative treatments like splints haven't helped.
This study tests a combination of hands-on therapy and a small electrical nerve stimulation treatment to reduce pain and improve hand function in people with moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may help you avoid surgery and find relief from symptoms that have lasted at least 3 months.
This study compares different non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome, such as hand exercises and other therapies. It aims to find the best way to reduce hand pain, tingling, and numbness.
This study tests two types of hand treatments—nerve gliding exercises and moving the small wrist bones—to see if they help improve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel, these therapies might reduce pain and improve hand function without surgery.
This study tests whether taping therapy (kinesiotaping) or a mud pack treatment (peloidotherapy) can help reduce pain and improve function for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may be an option if you want non-surgical, drug-free relief.
