is this good for carlel tunnel ? The heat wouldn't make it worse or cause swelling because of the applied heat . would the patient the turn palms face up ? thx
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a problem of pressure - too much pressure in the carpal tunnel because either (1) the carpal tunnel is too small for the contents or (2) the contents are too large for the carpal tunnel (and yes, those are sort of the same thing). I know of no evidence that hot packs would help with this problem, not can I think of a reason why they should. If you go to www.cochranelibrary.com/search and search "Carpal tunnel syndrome", you will get a bunch of systematic reviews on various interventions. You can get the abstract and plain language summary if you click on the review title.
Thank you.
