How to rehabilitate stiff and numb fingers after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery

The stiffness and numbness of fingers after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery can be considered to be rehabilitated through drug therapy, exercise therapy and physical factor therapy. 1. Drug treatment: the reason why the stiffness and numbness of fingers appear after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery may be related to the damage of the median nerve, so we can consider taking nerve-nourishing drugs, such as methylcobalamin and B vitamins and so on. Specific medication should follow the doctor’s prescription. 2. Exercise therapy: If the patient’s fingers are stiff and numb after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, exercise therapy can be considered to improve the symptoms, such as appropriate passive movement of the finger joints to maintain the normal range of motion of the finger joints, to avoid the after-effects. 3. Physical factor therapy: After surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, physical factor therapy can be combined with physical factor therapy, such as low-frequency electrical stimulation and magnetic heat therapy, etc., which can promote the recovery of nerve function and improve blood circulation, thus relieving the symptoms of stiffness and numbness of fingers. It is recommended that patients should be treated under the guidance of professional doctors, and should not blindly treat themselves to avoid adverse consequences.
