This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Carpal tunnel syndrome causes pain and numbness in the hand and affects millions of people. This trial is testing a new device called CASA (Carpal Arch Space Augmentation) that gently inflates around your wrist to reduce pressure on the median nerve — the nerve that gets pinched in carpal tunnel. Researchers want to see if using this device along with a standard wrist brace works better than using the brace alone.
While carpal tunnel surgery can help some people, it cuts through important ligaments in the wrist and can have side effects. This study is looking for a non-surgical option that might relieve pain without damaging the wrist's natural structures.

You would be randomly assigned to either wear the new CASA compression device or a standard wrist brace. If you're in the CASA group, you'll wear a special brace that gently inflates with compressed air (like a blood pressure cuff) around your wrist each evening for four weeks. You'll need to stop taking pain medication two weeks before starting and avoid other treatments during the study. The trial lasts about four weeks, and researchers will track how much your symptoms improve during that time.
