傳統的治療方式
Treatments for CTS range from conservative strategies (medication, night splint, steroid injections, and physical therapy) to surgical decompression of the MN.
針對腕隧道症候群的傳統治療方式有:吃藥、使用護具、類固醇注射以及物理治療。
Despite the availability of conservative therapies, their efficacy is usually unfavorable or short-lived.
傳統的治療方法很常見,也有比較多的院所有提供這樣的治療模式,但效果總是讓人不滿意或是效果非常短暫。
傳統治療的成功率
A report revealed that approximately 60 to 70% patients with CTS who underwent conservative treatment still had symptoms after 18 months’ follow-up.
有一則研究報告顯示:十個腕隧道症候群患者在接受一年半的傳統治療方式以後,仍有 6.5 個患者深受症狀所苦。
使用護具的效果
Moreover, a recent study has shown that the treatment failure rate of the wrist splint was reported as 69% after 12 months’ follow-up.
最近的研究報告顯示:使用護具治療腕隧道症候群後十二個月,十個病人中仍有 6.9 個治療失敗。
腕隧道症候群的手術治療
Although surgical intervention is more effective than conservative treatment, conservative therapies are advocated for mild-to-moderate CTS. Surgical therapy is suggested for severe CTS or patients with poor response to conservative treatments, since the failure rate of surgery ranges from 7–75%.
接受手術治療的效果會比接受復健、吃藥、以及使用護具還好一些。但手術的治療方式只限於嚴重的腕隧道症候群患者,但手術的失敗率仍高達百分之7 到百分之75 之譜。
再生醫學
自體血小板血漿配合神經解套注射術,是腕隧道症候群治療的新希望療法。
