How can I treat carpal tunnel syndrome?
<|assistant|>
Treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome usually includes a combination of lifestyle changes, such as avoiding repetitive movements, taking breaks throughout the day, and wearing a night splint to keep the wrist in a neutral position while sleeping. In addition, physical therapy and occupational therapy may help improve strength and range of motion of the wrist while a corticosteroid injection can reduce inflammation. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to permanently decompress the carpal tunnel.
