Matching carpal tunnel syndrome types to the best treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how different types of carpal tunnel syndrome (a nerve condition in your wrist) respond to treatment. By classifying your specific symptoms, doctors hope to tailor therapy to your needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) — pressure on a nerve in your wrist that can cause pain, tingling, or weakness in your hand.
- Your symptoms must be the type caused by nerve damage (neuropathic pain), such as burning, tingling, or shooting pain.
- You must be willing to participate and attend the study visits.
- You must not have other conditions like diabetes, inflammatory diseases, or a pacemaker, and you must not have had prior CTS surgery or steroid injections.

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 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 how small nerve fibers work in people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It uses simple sensory tests to understand nerve function, which may help guide treatment.
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 tests whether desensitisation therapy and pain neuroscience education help people with carpal tunnel syndrome who have a type of pain called 'nociplastic' (pain without clear tissue damage). It aims to reduce pain and improve function.
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.
