carpal tunnel pain OVERVIEW

Carpal Tunnel is described as a numbness and tingling in the hand and arm caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist.   Wrist anatomy, underlying health conditions, and patterns of hand use can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome.  Key symptoms are pain in the hand and arm with numbness or tingling.  The carpal tunnel is a narrow opening between the bones in your wrist and the ligament that holds them together.

​

THERAPY OVERVIEW

Low frequency pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) can provide noninvasive, safe and easy to apply method to treat carpal tunnel pain, inflammation and dysfunctions associated with back pain, sciatica and neuropathy and PEMF has a long term record of safety. The analysis of various studies of pain, cell culture systems and clinical trials reporting the use of PEMF for pain cure has conclusively shown that PEMF not only alleviates the carpal tunnel pain in the condition but it also affords chondroprotection, exerts antiinflammatory action and helps in cell health and has been developed as a viable alternative for carpal tunnel pain therapy.

effectiveness

Statistical reduction of pain scores at end of treatment (23%) and also end of follow-up (37%) were noted in the 33 hands that completed the study. The PGIC questionnaire revealed 67% improvement. There were no adverse events or safety issues. Our pilot data suggests that directing PEMF to the carpal tunnel region can provide pain relief for a majority of individuals.
