Carpal tunnel syndrome treatment options
By Mayo Clinic staff
All traditional treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome attempt to relieve pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel in your wrist. No single treatment choice is right for everyone. What you and your doctor decide to do depends on the following factors:
- How severe your symptoms are and what's causing them
- How long you've had your symptoms
- How much your symptoms affect your life at work and at home
Treatments fall into two general categories: surgical and nonsurgical. Both have potential risks and benefits.
