Tunnel syndrome treatment
Treatment involves eliminating nerve compression and restoring sensitivity and proper limb mobility. This can be achieved through minimally invasive surgery.
Tunnel syndrome refers to the compression of a nerve within a narrow anatomical passageway, which most commonly occurs at the wrist or elbow. It can be caused by prolonged hand positioning or repetitive hand movements, which is often the case for office workers.
The main symptoms include numbness, tingling, and prickling sensations in the fingers, as well as a burning pain that often worsens at night. Over time, weakness in the hand may develop, making it difficult to hold objects.
Before undergoing treatment for tunnel syndrome, it is necessary to consult with a hand surgeon and a neurologist. The specialists will review the medical history and conduct an examination. Instrumental examinations, such as ultrasounds or MRIs, as well as general blood tests and blood clotting assessments, may also be required.
Initial treatment involves wearing a brace to prevent nerve compression, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy. Surgical intervention is performed if the numbness worsens, hand weakness develops, or muscle atrophy occurs. Our clinic is equipped with a small operating room where the procedure can be performed under local anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision to relieve compression of the nerve. After the procedure, the patient is kept under observation for a while and can then leave the clinic the same or following day.
Tunnel syndrome is treated using surgical instruments designed for minimally invasive procedures. The procedure is performed under magnification for better visualization.
Postoperative recovery takes 4–6 weeks. Initially, the arm is immobilized with a sling. After 2 weeks, the patient starts exercise therapy.
