A member asked:
What are other splints/braces to wear besides an elbow splint when experiencing cubital tunnel syndrome?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing really...: Cubital tunnel is a problem of the ulnar nerve at the elbow. The only splint that makes sense is an elbow splint/brace. The goal of the brsce is to prevent extreme flexion of the elbow which causes pressure on the nerve.
