The Effect of Theraworx Foam in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Withdrawn before enrolling · Phase 4 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

In brief

Participation will be for approximately 21 days (3 study visits,1 week apart with allowance for scheduling conflicts). A topical (or placebo) foam alone or with a splint will be used. Demographic and symptom information will be obtained. At each visit 3 questionnaires (BCT, CTS-6, and DASH) will be completed and an ultrasound of the wrist (median nerve) will be done to document any change in symptoms and/or in the size of the nerve. Random assignment will be to one of 4 groups: foam or placebo with or without a night splint. We will provide instruction on how to apply the foam, whether or not and how to wear the splint, and return visits.
