Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) focuses on relieving pressure on the median nerve and reducing symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness. The choice of treatment depends on the severity of the condition, ranging from conservative methods to surgical intervention.
1. Conservative (Non-Surgical) Treatments
These methods are typically used for mild to moderate cases of CTS:
Lifestyle Modifications
Activity Adjustments: Reduce or modify repetitive hand and wrist movements.
Ergonomics: Use ergonomic tools or adjust workstations to minimize strain on the wrist.
Wrist Splints
Wearing a splint, especially at night, helps keep the wrist in a neutral position to reduce pressure on the median nerve.
Medications
Physical Therapy
Stretching and strengthening exercises to improve wrist and hand flexibility and reduce symptoms.
Ultrasound therapy may also provide temporary relief.
2. Advanced Treatments
For moderate to severe CTS or cases where conservative methods are ineffective:
Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery
3. Alternative Therapies
Yoga: Improves grip strength and reduces symptoms in some patients.
Acupuncture: May provide symptom relief for certain individuals.
