#What is Carpal Tunnel syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in older people.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition caused by pinching the middle nerve when it passes through the wrist at the carpal tunnel. The main symptoms are pain, numbness and tingling in the thumb, forefinger, middle finger and thumb of the ring finger. Symptoms usually begin gradually and silently during the night.

Risk factors include:

• Obesity, repeated wrist work, pregnancy, genetics and rheumatoid arthritis.
• Diabetes is weakly associated with CTS.
• The use of birth control pills does not affect the risk.
• Types of linked work include computer work, working with vibrating tools and jobs that require strong grip.

Diagnosis for CTS is based on specific signs, symptoms and physical tests and can be confirmed by electrophoresis tests.

#Scientific theory of TENS for Carpal Tunnel

TENS works by preventing pain signals from reaching the brain and replacing them with painless signals. When you apply TENS to carpal tunnel syndrome, you will feel a gentle tingling sensation, like massage instead of pain.
With just two handy reasons and pain-free pain relief, it was convincing enough for those who were suffering from Carpal tunnel
Some TENS units also come with EMS (electro-mechanical stimulation) that can help reduce swelling around the middle nerve.

#Reliable research results from NCBI on TENS and carpal tunnel syndrome:

RESULTS:

Significant decreases in MPQ score, median nerve sensory latency, and Phalen and Tinel signs after the real treatment series but not after the sham treatment series. Patients could perform their previous work (computer typist, handyman) and were stable for 1 to 3 years.

#Use TENS for Carpal Tunnel management

There are some things that people can do at home to help manage carpal tunnel, including using TENS to reduce wrist pain. Because the pain is often caused by swelling around the middle nerve, applying ice to the wrist can help reduce swelling. Use ice for every 10-15 minutes as needed. Many people also find it helpful to wear a wrist brace at night. Braces help reduce the pressure of nerves between you when you are sleeping. This treatment may make you feel better in the morning. You should also try to rest your wrist as much as possible, or change your daily movements. Search for pressure on the middle nerve to prevent pain.

#Note about TENS for Carpal Tunnel

One of the very effective reasons for using TENS for carpal tunnel syndrome is its versatility.
Pad position can be adjusted to meet individual needs, as well as intensity settings.

The position of the TENS unit for the carpal tunnel will vary slightly for each person. However, the most effective starting point is to place an electrode in the palm and one on the wrist.

Adjust the pads as needed and adjust the intensity settings until you find the TENS treatment that works best for you.
