This study compared the therapeutic effect of flax seed oil topical gel and hand splint in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. This study was a randomized clinical trial. Forty-nine patients, 96 hands, with mild to moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were divided into 2 groups randomly. One group was treated by topical gel and the other group by hand splint. Intensity of symptoms and function before and after intervention was measured via Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire. After intervention, the ANCOVA showed a significant difference between the symptom and function scores of the 2 groups. In both cases, recovery was higher in the gel group ( P < .001). The topical use of flax seed oil gel is more effective in the improvement of symptoms and function of patients with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome as compared with hand splint, and it can be introduced as an effective treatment.

Background: Although surgery is an effective treatment for severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), it is accompanied by many complications; furthermore, there are several patients with severe CTS who reject surgical management. This study was designed to investigate the efficacy of long-term splinting in severe CTS. Methods and Materials: CTS Assessment Questionnaire (Bostone) was filled for 140 patients with severe CTS, who did not agree to go under surgery. Patients were divided into two groups randomly. One group received medical and physical therapy and short-term (six weeks) wrist splint. The other group received the same treatments but long-term (six months) splinting. Both groups went under the evaluation of symptoms and function with Bostone questionnaire and electrophysiological study six weeks, and six months later. Results: There was no significant difference between two groups in any of the measured or registered parameters at the beginning of the study and six weeks later except for compound motor action potential amplitude. But, both the Boston questionnaire scores (symptom severity and functional capacity) and nerve conduction study results were significantly different between the two groups at six months. Conclusion: Regarding the potential efficacy of long-term night-time splinting for symptom and functional improvement of severe CTS, we recommend its use in severe CTS patients who reject surgery.
