Ultrasound and nerve tests for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how ultrasound, nerve tests, and hand function relate to carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to improve understanding of the condition and may help guide future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome, like numbness, tingling, or weakness in your hand.
- Your diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome must be confirmed by a nerve test (electroneuromyography).
- You must not have had carpal tunnel surgery before.
- You must not have had a fracture, major injury, or surgery on the affected wrist or hand.
- You must not have other nerve conditions (like polyneuropathy or a pinched nerve in the neck) that could affect your hand.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the hand muscle (thenar muscle) thickness in people with carpal tunnel syndrome and healthy volunteers. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help evaluate the condition.
This study looks at where carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms show up and how your body processes pain. By understanding this, doctors hope to find better ways to treat it.
This trial tests if ultrasound can help doctors better diagnose and track carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed). It may lead to better treatment and follow-up without extra tests.
This study uses ultrasound to look at the median nerve in the wrist of people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to find common nerve variations that might affect treatment.
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 whether combining gentle hand/wrist therapy with a tiny electrical stimulation (needle-like) can improve moderate carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. It is for adults aged 30–50 who have not had previous carpal tunnel surgery and don't have other health issues affecting the nerves or wrist.
