Conservative Treatment in Ulnar Neuropathy
Conservative Treatment in Ulnar Neuropathy
1.In mild-to-moderate cubital tunnel syndrome, night splinting that limits elbow flexion improves symptoms in most patients.
2.Activity modification — particularly avoiding sustained elbow flexion and direct pressure over the cubital tunnel — is a first-line conservative measure in mild cubital tunnel syndrome.
3.Local corticosteroid injection is a routine first-line therapy for cubital tunnel syndrome.
4.Avoiding prolonged or repetitive elbow flexion reduces intracubital pressure and is recommended in mild cubital tunnel syndrome.
5.Hand-therapy and occupational-therapy interventions for cubital tunnel syndrome centre on activity modification, ergonomic adjustment and orthotic provision rather than on a specific therapeutic modality.
