Carpal Tunnel Trial Phases
56 research organizations are sponsoring carpal tunnel trials.
About Carpal Tunnel
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. Symptoms include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand. Treatment ranges from wrist splinting and corticosteroid injections to surgical release.
Clinical trials are advancing new treatments for carpal tunnel. Currently, 61 studies are recruiting a combined 120,392 participants across the United States. Research is being conducted by 56 organizations including Intermountain Health Care, Inc., University of Southern California, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and 53 others.
