Does pentrex really work for carpal tunnel?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Even though this topical cream is advertised as a treatment for carpal tunnel, there is no scientific data to support its value.

Ingredients make no: Sense to me msm : is not proven but largely if there are any claim its by ingesting it not a cream cetyl_myristoleate: has no proven effects choline bitartrate: makes no sense as a cream arnica: no more effective than placebo boswellia serrata: has components that may relief some inflammation pyridoxine ( vit b6) as a cream ..Why? Use of these as a cream makes no sense, pseudoscience at best.
