I receive a lot of emails from people who have questions about the usefulness of carpal tunnel wrist braces and night splints. To be honest, when it comes to these devices I have mixed feelings, since I’ve seen many patients who have been fitted for a wrist brace or who wear night splints to relieve the pain they suffer from carpal tunnel. Occupational therapists design these braces in order to immobilize the hand; this reduces the swelling and inflammation of the carpal tunnel, which in turn eases the discomfort. The reason these devices make me uneasy is because they require immobilization, and any time a muscle or joint is immobilized, it loses function.
