How it works
Systemic anti-inflammatory effect reduces synovial tissue swelling around tendons in the carpal tunnel, decreasing compression on the median nerve.
Prescription only. Short-term benefit only — does not prevent CTS progression. Side effects of even short steroid courses include blood sugar elevation, mood changes, and sleep disruption. Less effective than local injection.
