How long Carpal Tunnel Syndrome studies take

Of 28 phase 4 interventional studies under Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 7 months of starting, counting those still running.

Start to primary completionEvery sponsorIndustryNon-industry
Phase 47 mo3–19 · 28 studies—7 mo3–19 · 28 studies
Interventional, no phase12 mo7–26 · 261 studies—12 mo6–27 · 251 studies
Observational13 mo8–47 · 40 studies—13 mo8–47 · 38 studies

Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study.
