To determine the current evidence for various non-operative therapies in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome RECENT FINDINGS: Multiple non-operative treatment modalities exist in the treatment of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome. While certain modalities such as splinting and corticosteroid injections have moderate- to high-quality evidence to support use, other less commonly used treatments have fewer therapeutic indications in the current literature. Healthcare providers should be able to initiate the appropriate diagnostic evaluation and assess the utility of non-operative therapies in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome. Moreover, healthcare providers should also be able to understand the evidence behind each treatment and the indications for surgical intervention.
