This condition often negatively affects a person's hand functions and ability to perform daily activities. While various tests are used in clinics to measure hand function, dexterity, and fine motor skills, there is still a lack of clear consensus in the literature regarding the specific reliability and validity of these particular tests for this patient population. Consequently, it remains uncertain which of these tests are truly accurate, consistent, and most appropriate for routine clinical use in carpal tunnel syndrome. Therefore, it is crucial to scientifically evaluate these tests to fill this gap in the literature.\n\nThe purpose of this study is to investigate reliability and construct validity of the Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test (JTHFT), the Minnesota Dexterity Test (MDT), and the Nine-Hole Peg Test (NHPG) in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).\n\nTo achieve these objectives, a rigorous methodological protocol will be implemented (COSMIN criteria). Test-retest reliability will be evaluated by repeating the assessments within a 7-to-14-day interval. To control for potential learning, fatigue, and adaptation effects, the order of all performance tests will be strictly randomized using a permutation approach during both the initial (baseline) and the second (retest) evaluation sessions. Additionally, measurement error will be calculated using Standard Error of Measurement and Minimal Detectable Change to determine the true clinical precision of these tools.\n\nFor construct validity, a specific testing sequence and strict randomization strategy will be utilized to minimize response bias. Participants will complete all patient-reported outcome questionnaires prior to undergoing any physical testing. This ensures that a patient's subjective evaluation of their daily life activities is not influenced by their immediate performance or perceived success on the physical tests. Following the questionnaires, hand strength measurements and dexterity performance tests will be administered. The sequence of these physical tests will be fully randomized both among different test modalities and within their internal subtests for each participant. Construct validity will be evaluated through predefined hypothesis testing based on COSMIN guidelines. Convergent validity will be confirmed if a moderate correlation (r≥0.40 or r≤-0.40) is observed between the dexterity tests and structurally related parameters. Divergent validity will be confirmed by a weak correlation (r≥-0.39 and r≤0.39) with structurally unrelated or distinct clinical parameters. Construct validity of the assessments will be considered satisfactory if at least 75% of these predefined hypotheses are confirmed by the statistical analysis.",[29],"2026-07-16",{"date":90,"type":40},"2026-07-17",{"date":88,"type":40},{"date":93,"type":23},"2027-09-01",{"name":95,"class":47},"Izmir Bakircay University",{"id":97,"slug":98,"hasResults":12,"nctId":99,"briefTitle":100,"officialTitle":101,"acronym":102,"eligibilityCriteria":103,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":18,"minAge":56,"maxAge":81,"enrollmentInfo":104,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":24,"phases":106,"briefSummary":107,"conditions":108,"keywords":109,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":120,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":121,"startDateStruct":122,"completionDateStruct":123,"leadSponsor":125,"locationsCount":48},"100647811","photobiomodulation-for-median-nerve-neuroplasticity-in-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-a-randomized-controlled-trial-100647811","NCT07714720","Photobiomodulation for Median Nerve Neuroplasticity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial","Therapeutic Effects of Photobiomodulation (Low Level Laser Therapy) on Median Nerve Neuroplasticity in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome","PBM-CTS-RCT","Inclusion criteria\n\n* Age 18-60 years\n* Clinical diagnosis of unilateral mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome based on positive Phalen test and\u002For Tinel sign\n* Electrophysiological confirmation of CTS via nerve conduction study (NCS) meeting AANEM 2012 diagnostic criteria for mild-to-moderate CTS\n* No prior photobiomodulation or laser therapy to the affected wrist within the preceding 3 months\n* Ability to attend 3 treatment sessions per week for 4 consecutive weeks\n* Able and willing to provide written informed consent (in Urdu or English)\n\nExclusion Criteria\n\n* Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome\n* Previous surgical release of the carpal tunnel on the affected side\n* Systemic peripheral neuropathy (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease)\n* Pregnancy or breastfeeding\n* Implanted cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator, or other active electronic implant\n* Active malignancy at or near the treatment site\n* Current use of photosensitising medications (e.g., tetracyclines, amiodarone, psoralens)\n* Corticosteroid injection into the carpal tunnel within the preceding 3 months\n* Rheumatoid arthritis or other inflammatory joint disease affecting the wrist\n* Open wounds, acute skin infection, or tattooed skin at the treatment site\n* Inability to attend 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks\n* Severe CTS confirmed by NCS (complete sensory or motor axon loss)",{"count":105,"type":23},70,[26],"Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral entrapment neuropathy, causing pain, paresthesia, and hand dysfunction due to median nerve compression at the wrist. While physiotherapy provides symptom relief, it does not effectively address the underlying neuroplastic deficits of the median nerve.

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether 830 nm PBM (200 mW, 4 J\u002Fcm², 12 sessions over 4 weeks) combined with routine physiotherapy produces significantly greater neuroplastic recovery of the median nerve - assessed by high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) measurement of median nerve cross-sectional area (CSA), nerve conduction study parameters and serum BDNF - compared to sham PBM combined with identical physiotherapy in adults with mild-to-moderate CTS. Neuroplasticity was operationalised as a multimodal construct comprising: (1) functional recovery, indexed by nerve conduction study parameters; (2) structural remodelling, indexed by median nerve cross-sectional area on high-resolution ultrasound; and (3) molecular neuroplastic signalling, indexed by serum BDNF. This multimodal approach was adopted because no single measure captures the full construct of peripheral nerve neuroplasticity (Padua et al., 2020).",[29],[110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119],"Photobiomodulation","Median Nerve","Randomized Controlled Trial","Low-Level Light Therapy","Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor","Ultrasonography","Physical Therapy Modalities","Neuronal Plasticity","Carpal Tunnel Syndrome","Nerve Conduction Studies","2026-07-15",{"date":64,"type":40},{"date":70,"type":23},{"date":124,"type":23},"2027-08-15",{"name":126,"class":47},"University of Lahore",{"id":128,"slug":129,"hasResults":12,"nctId":130,"briefTitle":131,"officialTitle":131,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":132,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":18,"minAge":56,"maxAge":133,"enrollmentInfo":134,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":24,"phases":136,"briefSummary":137,"conditions":138,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":143,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":144,"startDateStruct":145,"completionDateStruct":147,"leadSponsor":149,"locationsCount":4},"100647518","evaluation-of-ai-mouse-use-in-patients-with-hand-and-wrist-conditions-100647518","NCT07707089","Evaluation of AI-Mouse Use in Patients With Hand and Wrist Conditions","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults aged 18-65 years\n* Diagnosis of a hand or wrist condition, including carpal tunnel syndrome or hand\u002Fwrist injury.\n* Receiving care at the Hand Surgery Department of the National Scientific Center of Traumatology and Orthopedics.\n* Medically stable and assessed by a study physician as able to safely perform light computer-based hand movements.\n* Able to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent.\n* Normal or corrected-to-normal vision sufficient to complete computer-based tasks.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Severe pain or acute symptoms that may be aggravated by computer task performance.\n* Postoperative restrictions limiting hand or wrist movement.\n* Severe motor impairment preventing completion of the study tasks.\n* Cognitive or neurological disorders that interfere with understanding study procedures or task performance.\n* Uncorrected visual impairment that interferes with computer use.\n* Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the study physician, would make participation unsafe.","65 Years",{"count":135,"type":23},15,[26],"People with hand and wrist conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or hand injuries, often experience pain and discomfort when using a computer mouse.

In rehabilitation practice, clinicians make numerous decisions each session regarding exercise type, frequency, duration, and treatment approach. Most of these decisions are currently made without systematic longitudinal data. This study addresses three fundamental questions using data collected during routine clinical care: (1) Can the rate of improvement in the first weeks of treatment predict functional status months later, across both session-based and milestone-based time points? (2) Are there meaningfully different recovery profiles among hand rehabilitation patients? (3) Is there measurable variation in clinical decision-making among patients with similar profiles, and does this variation relate to outcomes? A digital patient monitoring platform developed by the principal investigator, a physiotherapist and academic researcher specializing in hand rehabilitation serves as the data collection infrastructure. The platform records standard clinical assessment measures in a structured format and has been in active clinical use at Hacettepe University prior to this study. For research purposes, the system has been expanded to include structured capture of patient-reported outcomes, patient global impression of change, treatment protocol coding, home exercise adherence, and automated calculation of early response metrics.\n\nThis is a 12-month prospective observational cohort study enrolling a minimum of 60 patients.

Conservative treatment includes splinting, physical therapy modalities, and injection options, and it is preferred in mild and moderate cases. Among non-surgical treatment options, splint use is a commonly applied intervention; however, there is no consensus regarding its effectiveness, the optimal wrist position during use, or the duration and frequency of splint application. A total of 108 hands from patients aged 18 to 55 years diagnosed with CTS will be included in this study and randomized into three groups. All groups will be given an education and exercise program. The first group will use a wrist splint fixed at 15° flexion; the second group at neutral position; and the third group at 20° extension, to be worn only at night for eight weeks. Patients will be evaluated before treatment, immediately after treatment, and two months after the end of treatment using measures of pain- numbness severity, functional status, motor and sensory examination findings, and nerve conduction studies. What makes this study unique is that it evaluates the effects of splints that stabilize the wrist at different angles together with electrophysiological findings. A review of the literature shows that while some studies have examined and compared the effects of splints fixed at different wrist angles on symptoms, functional status, and physical examination findings, there is no study that evaluates these effects along with electrophysiological findings. Therefore, this study, which will compare the effectiveness of splints at different angles, is expected to contribute to the literature. The expected outcomes of this research are that one or more types of splints used in the conservative treatment of CTS will provide improvements in symptom severity, functional status, sensory and motor physical examination findings, and electrophysiological evaluation findings at the end of treatment.",[29,504,505],"Peripheral Neuropathies","Median Nerve Entrapment",[507,508,509,510,511],"Splints","Electromyography","Wrist splinting","Rehabilitation","Wrist posture","2026-03-10",{"date":514,"type":40},"2026-03-12",{"date":516,"type":23},"2026-03",{"date":518,"type":23},"2029-01",{"name":520,"class":47},"Istanbul University",{"id":522,"slug":523,"hasResults":12,"nctId":524,"briefTitle":525,"officialTitle":526,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":527,"healthyVolunteers":12,"sex":18,"minAge":56,"maxAge":133,"enrollmentInfo":528,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":24,"phases":529,"briefSummary":530,"conditions":531,"keywords":534,"overallStatus":36,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":538,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":539,"startDateStruct":541,"completionDateStruct":543,"leadSponsor":545,"locationsCount":48},"100626463","magnetotherapy-in-carpal-tunnel-syndrome-randomized-controlled-study-100626463","NCT07435961","Magnetotherapy in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Randomized Controlled Study","Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Magnetotherapy in Patients With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Placebo-Controlled, Triple-Arm, Randomized, Double-Blind Study","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults aged between 18 and 65 years.\n\nClinical diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) based on physical examination findings, including positive Tinel and\u002For Phalen tests and hypoesthesia in the 3rd to 5th digits.\n\nElectrophysiologically confirmed mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome based on electromyography (EMG) findings.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Severe carpal tunnel syndrome confirmed electrophysiologically by electromyography (EMG).\n\nHistory of previous surgical intervention for carpal tunnel syndrome.\n\nPresence of other peripheral nerve entrapments (e.g., ulnar nerve entrapment, radial nerve entrapment).\n\nElectrophysiologically confirmed polyneuropathy or cervical radiculopathy\u002Fcervical discopathy.\n\nRheumatologic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus).\n\nDiabetes mellitus (Type 1 or Type 2).\n\nPregnancy.\n\nPresence of electronic implants such as cardiac pacemaker, cochlear implant, or implantable defibrillator.\n\nActive acute infection.\n\nHistory of malignancy.\n\nReceipt of physical therapy or rehabilitation for the wrist or surrounding area within the past 6 months.\n\nCorticosteroid injection to the wrist within the past 6 months.\n\nHyperthyroidism or adrenal gland hyperfunction.\n\nOpen growth plates (epiphyseal plates not closed).\n\nParoxysmal neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy).\n\nMyasthenia gravis.\n\nRegular use of pain medications such as pregabalin, duloxetine, or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).",{"count":255,"type":23},[26],"This study is designed to investigate the effectiveness of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic field therapy in individuals diagnosed with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

In severe cases, motor function can also be disrupted. There are many factors that can contribute to the development of CTS: inflammation, compression, bony abnormality, mechanical injury, or certain lifestyle choices. Abnormalities have been proven to be tangibly visible with ultrasound in prior research projects in the form of decreased cross sectional area of the carpal tunnel, flattening of the median nerve, retinacular bowing and increased median nerve intensity.

As the disease progresses, muscle weakness and atrophy of the thenar muscles can occur, severely impacting patients' daily activities and functionality. Clinical evaluation and patient complaints are crucial for diagnosis. Electrophysiological assessment tools such as nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) are highly sensitive and considered the gold standard for confirming the diagnosis, assessing nerve damage, and determining the severity of this damage. In addition to electrophysiological assessment, ultrasonographic evaluation offers an important opportunity to observe structural changes in the median nerve associated with CTS.\n\nIn cases of mild to moderate CTS, nonsurgical treatments are the primary options for reducing symptoms; splinting, tendon-nerve gliding exercises, and physical therapy modalities are commonly preferred.
