A 45-year-old woman surnamed Chen, who needs to use a computer for work long-term, began to feel numbness in her right hand when holding the mouse about half a year ago. At first, she didn't pay much attention, but the symptoms gradually worsened, and her finger grip became weaker and weaker. Even daily actions like opening doors or holding cups would trigger wrist pain. What bothered her most was that the numbness became more severe at night, and when she turned over in her sleep, she often felt a tingling sensation in her wrist, like an electric current passing through, waking her up from sleep multiple times.
After trying medication and rehabilitation with little effect, she turned to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of Yuan Rung Hospital for help.WU CHIN TINGAttending Physician She was diagnosed with typical 'Carpal Tunnel Syndrome' and arranged for acupuncture treatment. Three days after the first acupuncture session, Ms. Chen's finger numbness and swelling were reduced by half, and she no longer woke up at night due to pain. After several weeks of continuous acupuncture treatment, her hand function completely returned to normal, and she no longer needed to rely on painkillers or muscle relaxants.
WU CHIN TINGAttending Physicianexplained that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by the compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. He explained that acupuncture can effectively promote local blood circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the damaged nerves, and at the same time, it can regulate the body's release of natural pain-relieving substances, thereby alleviating the tingling and burning sensation in the hand.
WU CHIN TINGAttending Physicianalso provided some prevention and self-care methods. He suggested that people who use computers for a long time can make good use of wrist braces, mouse pads, and armrests to reduce wrist pressure. In addition, simple stretching exercises, such as straightening the arm and using the other hand to bend the palm backward and holding for 15 seconds, repeating the operation, can also effectively relieve the wrist and prevent the occurrence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
