Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Finding Relief Through Non-Surgical Treatments

This systematic review delves into the effectiveness of non-surgical treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a common condition that causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and wrist. The researchers conducted a thorough analysis of available literature, meticulously evaluating the efficacy of various non-surgical interventions.

The results highlight the effectiveness of several non-surgical treatments for CTS, including oral steroids, steroid injections, ultrasound, electromagnetic field therapy, nocturnal splinting, and ergonomic keyboards. While these treatments are generally effective in the short term, further research is needed to assess their long-term efficacy, much like a desert traveler carefully planning their journey to ensure a successful outcome.
