This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing pain, tingling, and numbness in your fingers. This trial is testing two ways to reduce that nerve compression: one group will receive a corticosteroid injection, while another group will receive a saline (salt water) injection. Both groups will also do hand and nerve exercises. The study wants to find out which treatment works best to ease your symptoms and improve how your hand functions.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is very common and causes real suffering for millions of people. While several conservative (non-surgical) treatments exist, doctors aren't sure which injection method — steroid or saline — is most effective at relieving symptoms and improving nerve function.

You will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: steroid injection, saline injection, or exercise-only. All participants will do guided hand and nerve gliding exercises. The trial will measure your pain, hand function, and nerve activity using electrical tests and ultrasound imaging. You'll likely have multiple visits over several weeks so doctors can track how well your treatment is working and monitor for any changes.
