Wrist Splinting at Night
for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Wearing a neutral-position wrist splint at night is the recommended first-line conservative treatment for mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome — reducing nocturnal symptoms effectively.
How it works
Maintains the wrist in a neutral position, minimising carpal tunnel pressure. Nocturnal flexion and extension of the wrist during sleep significantly increases tunnel pressure — splinting prevents this.
What to watch for
Neutral-position splint (not in extension) is critical — extension can worsen symptoms. Available from pharmacies and physiotherapists. Consistent nightly use for at least 6 weeks recommended.
