Laser therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce pain and tingling from mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. It may be an option for people who have not had surgery or recent injections.

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 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 study tests whether magnetotherapy (using magnetic fields) can reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. If you qualify, you may receive this non-invasive treatment as an alternative to more invasive options.
This trial tests a non-invasive therapy called photobiomodulation, which uses low-level light to reduce pain and help the nerve in your wrist recover. It could be an option for people with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome who want to avoid surgery.
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.
This study tests whether laser acupuncture can help with carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms that sometimes develop after hand tendon repair surgery. It aims to reduce pain and improve hand function during recovery.
