Conditions
Interventions
Static wrist splint treatment
Static wrist splint (volar wrist cock-up orthosis): It extends from the proximal of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint to the distal 2/3 of the forearm, supports the wrist from the volar face. It stabilizes the wrist in 20-30 degrees of dorsiflexion and restricts wrist movements. It allows movement of the MCP joints. Patients will be asked to wear this splint continuously at night and for at least 4 hours during the day for 8 weeks.
Tendon and nerve gliding exercises
Tendon and nerve gliding exercises will be applied 5 sessions a day for 8 weeks. Each session will hold 10 repetitions and approximately 7 seconds in each exercise position. These exercises involve a sequence of finger movements (for tendon gliding) and wrist and fingers movements (for median nerve gliding).
Wrist local steroid injection
Wrist local steroid injection: After proper area cleaning with povidone solution, 1ml Betamethasone dipropionate + Betamethasone sodium phosphate (6.43 mg/ml + 2.63 mg/ml) steroid injection will be applied around the median nerve with a 22 G injector from ulnar side of the wrist proximal crease under ultrasound guidance.
