Chicago Tribune: Electroacupuncture Helps Ease Carpal Tunnel in Study

According to the article, “Preliminary research raises the possibility that an electrical form of acupuncture could become a useful treatment for the common wrist overuse condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

In the study, electroacupuncture helped carpal tunnel patients with long-lasting mild and moderate symptoms when it was used with splints overnight.

‘For these patients, electroacupuncture produces benefits in symptoms, disability, function and dexterity,’ said study author Vincent Chung. He is a registered Chinese medicine practitioner and assistant professor with The Chinese University of Hong Kong.”
