We developed a new product (Policarpal) for the treatment and prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis of the wrist.
The CTS is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist where it passes through the carpal tunnel. The incidence of CTS is three times higher in women and varies according to the work activities (up to 60 cases for every 100 workers in a particular job): in about 70% of the cases, it is bilateral and is prevalent in the dominant hand.
In the initial phases, the carpal tunnel syndrome is characterised by tingling, numbness or swelling of the hand, mainly in the first three fingers and part of the ring finger (see Figure), especially in the morning and/or at night; this is followed by pain radiating to the forearm (symptoms defined as irritative). If the condition worsens, there is loss of sensation in the fingers, with weakening of grip and thenar muscle atrophy (deficit symptoms).
