How is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Treated?
Nonsurgical treatment options treat most cases of cubital tunnel syndrome. Many treatment options are available. A customized treatment plan usually includes a combination of the following:
Rest and ice. Quickly decrease nerve inflammation and pain.
Towel wrapping. A soft towel placed between the elbow and a hard surface takes the pressure off the nerve.
Bracing. A day and/or night brace keeps the elbow straight and takes the pressure off the nerve.
Anti-inflammatory medications. Over-the-counter and prescription medications decrease inflammation and pain.
