Measuring hand strength in women with carpal tunnel syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial evaluates a simple, non-invasive device to measure hand muscle strength in women with carpal tunnel syndrome. The goal is to better understand how muscle strength is affected, which could help guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman aged 18 or older.
- You have carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed by a doctor, with symptoms like numbness, tingling, or pain in your thumb, index, or middle fingers for at least 3 months.
- You have had an EMG (nerve test) that shows nerve or muscle involvement.
- You have had a positive response to wrist tests (like tapping or bending the wrist).
- You have not had hand surgery, hand trauma, or conditions like arthritis, gout, or other nerve problems that could affect hand strength.

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 tests whether a hand-related questionnaire called the MAP-Hand Scale is a reliable and accurate tool for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. If you have mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand, your answers could help improve how doctors measure symptoms.
This study looks at how your muscles react during a specific test for carpal tunnel syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and could help improve diagnosis.
This trial uses a special ultrasound technique to check for carpal tunnel syndrome (a condition where a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing numbness or pain in your hand). It compares people with the condition to healthy volunteers to see if the ultrasound can help diagnose it.
This trial tests different ways of doing carpal tunnel release surgery to see which works best. If you have carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed by a nerve test, this study may help improve your hand pain and function.
This study tests whether certain hand function tests are reliable and accurate for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It helps doctors better understand how the condition affects your hand use.
