Abstract
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. Among the various treatment options, nocturnal splinting has been widely used to alleviate symptoms and prevent the progression of the condition. This article reviews the efficacy of nocturnal splinting in managing CTS, examining both its short-term and long-term benefits. Through an analysis of multiple clinical studies, this review explores how nocturnal splinting contributes to reducing symptoms, improving function, and potentially avoiding surgical intervention. Additionally, the article discusses factors such as compliance, splint design, and patient characteristics that influence the treatment's effectiveness.
