CTS treatment: CTS is an abbreviation for carpal tunnel syndrome. Treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome can be wearing a wrist splint at bedtime, using medicine to reduce pain, anti inflammatory medicine like ibuprofen, or sometimes surgery to relieve the pressure compressing the median nerve in the wrist.

Carpal tunnel.: There are three general modes of treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome: surgery, splint or nothing. The best five year result is achieved with surgery, which these days is generally done arthroscopically. Nothing simply means observing until,symptoms become horrible enough to enact one of the other two strategies. Splint application is seen as a bridge to surgery.

Splint or surgery: For mild carpal tunnel syndrome, we treat with a night splint. Sometimes a cortisone shot can be helpful. Surgery is the definitive treatment.

Varies: If it is mild, a splint can be worn at night. If it is severe, surgery can be required.
