Mind-based exercises for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a therapy called graded motor imagery, which uses mental exercises and mirror training to help reduce pain and improve hand function. It is designed for people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in just one hand (confirmed by a nerve test).
