Can The Clinic by Cleveland Clinic Provide Second Opinions on All Types of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Yes. Our expert specialists can review and provide recommendations on a variety of treatment plans for carpal tunnel syndrome and can also provide guidance on alternative treatment options. Common treatment plans for carpal tunnel syndrome include:
- Non-surgical therapy, such as wrist splinting, which is often used to relieve nighttime symptoms of tingling and numbness.
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to reduce pain and inflammation.
- Corticosteroid injections to decrease inflammation and swelling, which can relieve pressure on the nerve.
- Activity changes to avoid motions that can worsen symptoms; taking frequent breaks can also alleviate symptoms.
- Nerve gliding exercises which can help the median nerve move more freely within the confines of the carpal tunnel.
- Surgical treatment for severe cases, including the commonly performed carpal tunnel release to alleviate pressure on the median nerve.
