We discuss carpal tunnel syndrome with Dr. Nigel Ashworth, a physiatrist on the faculty of the University of Alberta in Canada. Dr. Ashworth has over thirty publications, among them original peer-reviewed research on carpal tunnel syndrome. Our conversation covers diagnostic (and electrodiagnostic) considerations and management strategies, including the evidence for bracing, corticosteroid injection and carpal tunnel release.
