The preferred method used for diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a physical examination. Doctor assess the medical history of the patient and conducts various tests to diagnose Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
In this surgery, the specialist uses a telescope device to assess the carpal tunnel. The specialist cuts the ligament through a small incision in the patient’s wrist or hand.
Corticosteroids are used by the specialist to decrease swelling and inflammation which helps to reduce pressure on the median nerve. Corticosteroids are injected in the carpal tunnel during the treatment.
NSAIDs are known as Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and are used to reduce the inflammation and swelling in the hand through drugs like Advil, Motrin etc. They provide short term relief to the patient.
In this therapy, the temperature of the body tissue is increased which helps to reduce the pain.
