Several options: IF the carpal tunnel syndrome is mild or detected early then options such as splints, NSAIDS or steroids may be helpful. If the syndrome is severe or of long duration then surgery provides excellent relief and will minimize the risk of permanent nerve damage which can occur with delayed treatment. some options such as endoscopic release can reduce the recovery time.

Use a wrist brace : Most of the time during daytime. Sleep with it all the time, use ergonomically correct computer desk/keyboard etc.. If the symptoms are getting worse, see your orthopod to get appropriately investigated, as there are few uncommon disease-- processes that need to be diagnosed ; treated, correctly.

Sometimes difficult: Wear a splint as much as possible - avoid activity that stresses the wrist and hand, use non steroidal anti inflammatory medications. Long term solution is often surgery.
