Years later, Swami Rama commented that the real value of his experiments at Menninger was not to prove he could stop his heartbeat or regulate the temperature in individual cells in his body, but rather to demonstrate the potentially therapeutic power of the mind/body connection.
Most people with carpal tunnel syndrome are treated without surgery. Surgery is considered only when: 1  Symptoms haven't improved after several weeks to months of nonsurgical treatment. 2  This assumes that you are having ongoing symptoms but no sign of nerve damage. 3  Nerve damage would make surgery more urgent.
Different types and features. Whether you're recovering from surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome or are trying to prevent strain and injury, carpal tunnel braces can help ease the pain. If you have swelling in the wrist or hand, try a wrist support brace that features an included gel pack for cold or warm relief.
