Podcast 583:  Raise Your Hands if You Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Podcast 583: Raise Your Hands if You Have Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • Hand raising test: a simple but effective tool to diagnose carpal tunnel
  • Patients hold their hands over their head and if symptoms of carpal tunnel develop within 2 minutes, it is considered positive, meaning they likely have carpel tunnel
  • Symptom included numbness and dull pain in the distribution of the median nerve
  • Treatment for carpal tunnel in the ED can include splinting in a neutral position and oral steroids with possible follow up for steroid injections or surgery
