First make sure the : Pain is due to cts. But if it is, nsaids, tylenol (acetaminophen) and other mediation that relieve inflammation can help someone who has cts pain. A wrist splint not to tight can helo too. Sometimes diuretics, thyroid medication if deficient, proper treatment of diabetes can help. Steroids either oral or injections can help to. Mediations such as Neurontin work differently reducing nerve pain but not the "cause.".
