(In a Page: Signs and Symptoms)

  • Corticosteroid injection for carpal tunnel improves symptoms in more than half of patients; surgical intervention to release the transverse ligament and decompress the nerve entrapment may be indicated
  • NSAIDs reduce inflammation and use of cock-up splints applied during activities and while sleeping reduces strain from repetitive use and reduces symptoms
  • Corticosteroid injection along tendon sheaths and wearing a thumb spica splint treat tenosynovitis
  • Ganglion cysts are treated by draining the thick fluid and injecting with steroid; surgical removal is occasionally necessary
  • Casting of suspected fractures and repeat X-ray in 7–9 days prevents complications of occult fracture
  • Antihistamines and steroids treat swelling from stings
  • Treat rheumatologic and medical causes
  • Biofeedback and relaxation may be beneficial in selected cases
