Summary:
New Clinical Trial on a Novel Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
A non-invasive device has been developed to alleviate symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome
and is being investigated in an NIH-funded clinical trial. If you have been diagnosed with carpal
tunnel syndrome and have the diagnosis confirmed via a nerve conduction study, then you may
be eligible to join this study.
Enrollment is nationwide and the study is conducted remotely, which means you can participate
from the comfort of your home in the U.S. The primary eligibility requirement is that you have
been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome in the past 12 months.
The trial involves simply wearing the study device on the wrist daily for 2 months, followed by 3
months of online follow-up. During the study, you would need to fill out a daily usage log and
periodic online surveys to evaluate changes in your CTS symptoms.
As this is a research study so you may or may not receive any direct health benefits as a result
of your participation, and you will be compensated $300 upon completion of the study.
