Numbness of the ring finger and thumb due to ulnar nerve injury can be treated with nerve-nourishing drugs, physical therapy and surgery if necessary.
1. Drug treatment: Generally speaking, the numbness of ring finger and little finger caused by ulnar nerve injury can be treated with drugs such as vitamin B1, vitamin B12, methylcobalamin and other nerve-nourishing drugs.
2. Physical therapy: microwave, laser, ultrasound and other physical therapy methods can be used to improve nerve nutrition and reduce symptoms.
3. Surgery: If the ulnar nerve is open injury and the damage is more serious, early surgical closure should be performed to carry out one-stage repair. If the first stage of repair is not complete, the second and third stage of repair will be carried out according to the situation. If the ulnar nerve is severely compressed in the elbow canal and cannot be relieved by medication, surgery can also be performed to relieve the compression symptoms.
It takes time to repair ulnar nerve injury. During the treatment period, patients should actively cooperate with the doctor and improve their lifestyle to avoid aggravation of the condition.
