  Recruiting Izmir Bakircay University · Izmir · NCT07706296

• Neuromobilization, Tendon Gliding, or Both for Mild to Moderate Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  This trial tests whether neuromobilization, tendon gliding exercises, or a combination of both help reduce pain and improve hand function in people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.

  Recruiting Ibadat International University, Islamabad · Islamabad, ICT · NCT07653789

• MeDe: Carpal tunnel release with added lacertus release vs carpal tunnel release alone

  In adults with carpal tunnel syndrome, this trial tests whether adding a lacertus fibrosus release to the standard carpal tunnel release helps reduce symptoms and improve hand function.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Maasstad Hospital · Rotterdam, South Holland and 1 other locations · NCT07594821

• Effect of peripheral repetitive magnetic stimulation on elbow or wrist pain

  This pilot study tests whether two days of active peripheral repetitive magnetic stimulation can reduce pain in adults with tennis/golfer’s elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome, compared with a sham treatment.

  Recruiting University of Manitoba · Winnipeg, Manitoba · NCT07544914

• Wrist splint positions for carpal tunnel syndrome

  This study tests whether different wrist splint positions help people with carpal tunnel syndrome feel better and move more easily in everyday tasks.

  Recruiting Istanbul University · Istanbul · NCT07458152

• Local steroid injection in carpal tunnel syndrome with diabetes vs without diabetes

  This study tests whether a corticosteroid and lidocaine injection helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome who also have type 2 diabetes as well as those without diabetes.

  Recruiting Haydarpasa Numune Training and Research Hospital · Istanbul, Istanbul · NCT07433257

• Osteopathic manipulation versus wrist immobilization for carpal tunnel syndrome

  This test will see if hands-on osteopathic manipulation or wearing a wrist brace works better to reduce pain, numbness, and loss of function in adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.

  Recruiting New York Institute of Technology · Old Westbury, New York · NCT07432750

• Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  This trial tests whether repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation can help people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome.

  Recruiting Ankara University · Ankara, Mamak · NCT07327723

• Rest splints versus high-intensity laser therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome

  This project will test whether adding high-intensity laser therapy or using rest splints alongside physical therapy helps people with carpal tunnel syndrome reduce pain and improve hand function.

• Muscle response collapse during the Scratch Collapse Test for carpal tunnel syndrome

  We will try to measure the brief, one-sided loss of muscle strength seen during the Scratch Collapse Test in adults with unilateral carpal tunnel syndrome.

  Recruiting Elsan · Tarbes · NCT07248124

• Ultrasound measurements and touch sensation in carpal tunnel syndrome

  This study tests whether ultrasound measurements of the median nerve are linked to how much touch sensation people with carpal tunnel syndrome have.

  Recruiting Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey · Üsküdar, İ̇stanbul · NCT07170449

• Paraffin bath versus extracorporeal shock wave therapy: effects on median nerve thickness in carpal tunnel syndrome

  This will test if paraffin baths or extracorporeal shock wave therapy better reduce median nerve swelling and relieve numbness and pain in adults aged 30–60 with carpal tunnel syndrome.

  Recruiting Karadeniz Technical University · Istanbul · NCT07167667

• Hand ultrasound and clinical follow-up after carpal tunnel release

  This project will try to see if changes in median nerve size on hand ultrasound after open carpal tunnel release match how people's symptoms, sensation, and strength improve over six months.

  Recruiting University of Sao Paulo General Hospital · São Paulo, São Paulo · NCT07134361

• Kinesiotaping and peloid (therapeutic mud) therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome

  This study will see if adding kinesiotaping or peloid (therapeutic mud) therapy to a home exercise program helps adults with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome reduce pain and improve hand function.

  Recruiting Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital · Konya · NCT06977321

• Comparing corticosteroid injection and nerve hydrodissection for carpal tunnel syndrome

  This study is testing whether corticosteroid injections or nerve hydrodissection can help people with carpal tunnel syndrome feel better when combined with exercise therapy.

  Recruiting at 2 sites Kirsehir Ahi Evran Universitesi · Kırşehir, City Centre and 1 other locations · NCT06882603

• Comparing Kaltenborn and Mulligan techniques for treating Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
