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.

Joint pain relief

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.
