Magnesium shows mixed effectiveness
We explored the effects of a combined infusion therapy including magnesium on carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in a group of 101 patients who physically worked with their hands. The study utilized a retrospective design, looking back at participants who presented with abnormal nerve function shown through electromyography (EMG).
Within the study, we discovered that the patients' work environments varied widely, with many exposed to hazardous conditions like excessive vibrations. After treatment, 144 out of 166 diagnosed CTS cases showed improvement, suggesting that the combination therapy—including magnesium—could be beneficial for some patients.
When examining specific outcomes based on the severity of CTS, we noticed that patients with mild symptoms improved by an average of 61%, while those with moderate and severe conditions improved by 47% and 50% respectively. Despite these findings, we need to acknowledge that there was no significant difference in treatment outcomes related to age, sex, or symptom severity.
Interestingly, the results highlighted a portion of patients who did not improve or even experienced worsening symptoms. This raises questions about the effectiveness of magnesium and the combined treatment approach. Therefore, while magnesium plays a role in managing CTS for some individuals, it does not guarantee success for everyone.

I find this magnesium the most beneficial for easing my joint pain associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Hashimoto's. Other forms of magnesium do not work as effectively for me. The tablets are quite large, but that doesn't bother me; you could always break them in half if you dislike taking tablets.

Vitamin B12 benefits unclear in CTS
We aimed to understand how vitamin B12 affects carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) treatment. While vitamin B12 was included as part of a broader conservative treatment strategy, the specifics of its isolated effectiveness remain unclear.
As we explored the statistics gathered, we observed that vitamin B12 was recommended along with other treatments like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a neutral wrist splint. However, the data did not provide strong evidence that vitamin B12 alone offers significant benefits for CTS beyond these combined treatments.
Therefore, while some patients may find relief using vitamin B12 as part of their regimen, we need more focused research to highlight its true impact on CTS symptoms, separate from other interventions.

No more finger numbness! I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and began searching for solutions, which led me to this supplement. After about a week of taking it, I noticed the numbness in my fingertips diminishing, and a month later, it has completely disappeared. It’s worth noting that the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome was relatively mild.

Alpha Lipoic Acid for polyneuropathy and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. I took it alongside phosphatidylserine; I experienced severe pain in my wrist joint and hand due to nerve entrapment and swelling caused by the nerve being clamped in the bone canal. After using it for approximately six months, the pain has dissipated. Alpha Lipoic Acid at 600 mg is a suitable dosage. I am pleased with the purchase.
