Injections for carpal tunnel syndrome: comparing three treatments
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares three different injections for carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, numbness, or tingling in your hand. The goal is to see which injection works best to relieve symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have had carpal tunnel symptoms for at least 6 weeks.

This trial tests three different injections (a steroid, ozone gas, and a sugar-water solution) to find which best relieves pain in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome who haven't gotten relief from other treatments. It aims to identify a simple injection option that could ease pain and improve hand function without surgery.
This study compares two different amounts of numbing medication injected around the nerve in the wrist to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome. The injection is guided by ultrasound to be accurate and may help relieve symptoms like pain and tingling.
This trial tests whether hyaluronic acid injections can relieve carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, compared to standard steroid shots. It may help avoid surgery for people with mild to moderate symptoms.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: pulsed radiofrequency (a needle that uses heat to calm nerves) and hyaluronidase hydrodissection (a fluid injection to separate tissues). The goal is to see which one better reduces your symptoms.
This trial compares two treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome: a corticosteroid injection (which reduces swelling) and a newer technique called nerve hydrodissection (which uses fluid to free the nerve). The goal is to see which works better for relieving pain and improving hand function.
This study compares three ways to start treating moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome: a steroid injection, wearing a splint at night, or both. The goal is to see which approach works best to relieve symptoms.
