A lot of things: Some people with mild symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome can ease their discomfort by taking more-frequent breaks to rest their hands and applying cold packs to reduce occasional swelling. If these techniques don't offer relief within a few weeks, additional treatment options include wrist splinting, medications and surgery.

Yes: On your own, you can avoid excessive wrist flexion or extension. Braces at night can assist with night time symptoms. Avoid exacerbating activities and vibratory tools.
