How should carpal tunnel syndrome be treated

In the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, first of all, conservative treatment is used, if conservative treatment is ineffective, surgery can be considered. In the conservative treatment, for the more acute onset and more obvious pain, it is necessary to pay attention to rest and minimize the activities of the wrist joint, which can be fixed with joint braces and physiotherapy, which can relieve the symptoms, and can also go to intracanalicular injection of prednisolone acetate, which can play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, indomethacin, celecoxib, etc., and nerve-nourishing drugs, including vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, can also be taken at the same time, aiming to reduce local edema, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and nourish the injured nerve. If conservative treatment is ineffective or due to fracture dislocation or occupying lesions, resulting in entrapment of the median nerve, atrophy of the masseter muscle, and significant sensory loss in the distribution area of the median nerve, surgical treatment should be considered, which includes open carpal tunnel decompression and endoscopic carpal tunnel release decompression.
