View clinical trials related to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
Filter by:Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), also known as median mononeuropathy, occurs when the median nerve is squeezed or compressed as it travels through the carpal tunnel at the wrist. It is common in the age group of 40-60 years. The main aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of carpal ligament self-myofascial stretching over conventional physical therapy on reducing pain and improving function in patients with stage I and II CTS-thirty-six subjects with stage I and II (mild) CTS were recruited. Thirty-six subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to the experimental group and control group, with 18 patients in each group. The experimental group received carpal ligament self-myofascial stretching along with conventional physical therapy, while the control group received traditional physical therapy alone. The duration of the treatment was six weeks. The outcome measures used were the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire and the Visual Analogue Scale.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy and is frequently encountered in clinical practice. Although there is no standard protocol for its treatment, conservative treatment methods are preferred. In our study, we aimed to clinically compare the efficacy of high and low intensity laser treatments in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. By using methods such as electromyography and ultrasound, we aimed to provide a more objective evaluation
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping on relieving carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms in physical therapist females. BACKGROUND: shockwave therapy is a popular non-invasive therapeutic modality in the medical field for the treatment of numerous musculoskeletal disorders. Shockwaves can generate interstitial and extracellular responses, producing many beneficial effects such as: pain relief, vascularization, protein biosynthesis, cell proliferation, neuro and chondroprotection, and destruction of calcium deposits in musculoskeletal structures. shockwave combined with conventional physiotherapy is an effective noninvasive treatment for mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome that produces greater and longer-lasting results than conventional physiotherapy alone HYPOTHESES: Adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does adding Shock wave therapy to kinesio taping has positive effects on carpal tunnel syndrome in physical therapist females?
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effect of a single local platelet-rich plasma injection Versus local steroid injection in treating mild idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome regarding pain relief and function improvement and electrophysiological studies of the median nerve as a baseline and during a follow-up period of 3 months. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does platelet-rich plasma injection provide better pain relief for CTS symptoms than steroid injection? - Does platelet-rich plasma improve parameters of median nerve conduction study than local steroid? Participants will have: - A complete history and clinical examination, including sensory and motor examination and provocative tests for CTS. - Visual analog scale (VAS), Symptom severity scale (SSS), and functional severity scale (FSS) of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) before local injection and three months after local injection by the same investigator. - Nerve conduction studies (NCS) for median and ulnar nerves were carried out before local injection and three months after local injection by the same investigator. Researchers will compare the efficacy of a single PRP local injection compared to a single corticosteroid local injection for treating mild idiopathic CTS using nerve conduction studies (NCS), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) as objective and subjective outcome measures.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of bioptron light therapy on pregnancy related carpal tunnel syndrome
This research proposes to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel device designed for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The device applies a small cyclic force to the wrist. The cycles include a small time period of force is applied, followed by a brief period of no force. The device is intended to be worn during hours of sleep. The efficacy of the treatment is evaluated based on patient reported outcomes. Treatment efficacy will also be evaluated based on comparisons to patient reported outcomes for a SOC treatment.
Acupuncture and laser acupuncture treatments have been proven to be effective and safe treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS). However, there is still a lack of direct comparative studies of acupuncture and laser acupuncture in the treatment of CTS. A 3-arm, randomized controlled study in acupuncture, laser acupuncture study and sham laser acupuncture therapy was designed for patient with carpal tunnel syndrome. The Glabal symptom score (GSS), Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ), neurophysiological study, morphological examination under ultrasonography will be evaluated before and after treatment. Comparison of therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture, laser acupuncture and sham laser acupuncture in the treatment of CTS will be explored.
In this study, the examiners will investigate the reliability and validity of Mastrict Upper Extremity scale in Urdu language in Pakistani patients with Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Hydrodissection injection method; It is a safe and effective injection method in peripheral nerve compression that aims to release the adhesions by separating the nerve from the surrounding connective tissues through the liquid given by injection. Perineural injection of 5% dextrose is analgesic in neuropathic pain, although the mechanism is not fully defined. USG-guided 5% dextrose injection using nerve hydrodissection method is promising in the treatment of CTS. In our study, we aimed to investigate the short-term (4 weeks) efficacy of 5% dextrose injection using USG-guided nerve hydrodissection method in combination with wrist splint treatment in patients with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and whether this treatment can provide additional benefit to wrist splint treatment.
Compare the efficacy on carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) treatment between hydrodissection with hyaluronic acid (HA) vs 5% dextrose
