Nerve block and fluid injection for carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding a nerve block near the neck to a fluid injection around the wrist nerve gives more relief for carpal tunnel syndrome than the fluid injection alone. It is for people with mild to moderate symptoms that have not improved with other treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome by a doctor, and tests (nerve conduction studies) confirmed it.

- You have tried other treatments (like splints or medication) but they haven't helped enough.
- You have not had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome in the affected hand.
- You do not have other nerve problems (like neck issues or widespread nerve damage) or major injuries/surgery in the same wrist or hand.
- You are not on blood thinners or have bleeding problems, and you are not allergic to the medicines used.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 tests whether ultrasound imaging can help diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist is squeezed, causing numbness and weakness in your hand). It may help doctors better identify the problem without more invasive tests.
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 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 study uses ultrasound to measure the size of a nerve in your wrist and compares it with your sense of touch. It aims to see if the ultrasound results match how much feeling you have lost in your hand.
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.
