Carpal Tunnel Causes and Treatments

Medications

Carpal tunnel is caused by swelling and inflammation in your wrists. With pain relive medications and medications that ease inflammation you can treat carpal tunnel. Anti-inflammatory medications [8] like steroids also work great as medications for carpal tunnel. Although, there’s little evidence for their effectiveness for dealing with carpal tunnel. You can try out paracetamol and ibuprofen as pain relievers. Alongside anti-inflammatory medications, you can use corticosteroids to ease the swelling and pains. These drugs reduce the pressure around the nerve and help you find relief in your wrists. As a rule of thumb injections are more potent than oral steroids.
