概述

Ulnar tunnel syndrome is a condition that affects the wrist. It happens when the ulnar nerve is compressed going from the wrist into the hand through a space referred to as Guyon’s canal. You may have weakness, tingling, numbness, or pain because of the nerve compression.

Theulnar nerveis a large nerve that runs from your neck to your hand. It’s responsible for some hand movements and function. Bones and muscles don’t protect the ulnar nerve, though, so injuries are common. When you “hit your funny bone” — or experience a feeling of shock after hitting your elbow — that pain comes from the ulnar nerve.

Ulnar隧道综合征的症状可能需要时间发展。随着时间的推移，它们也可以逐渐变得更糟。

乌尔没有隧道综合征影响手腕，手腕和小指的常见症状包括：

  • 弱点
  • numbness, especially in the little and ring fingers
  • tingling, especially in the little and ring finger
  • 疼痛
  • 无法做的每日任务，如键入
  • 用受影响的手握住东西的问题
  • hand and fingers forming a “claw”

一个神经节，它是充满液体的肿块，可以在手腕的关节上形成，并导致尺态隧道综合征。神经节是一种良性（非癌症）囊肿。

Ulnar tunnel syndrome can also be caused by repetitive trauma or pressure to the hand. Participating in certain exercise activities, such as cycling and weightlifting, can create this type of pressure. Some jobs that require using tools that vibrate can also lead to ulnar tunnel syndrome.

如果你：你更有可能开发ulnar隧道综合症：

  • 使用振动工具
  • have hand trauma
  • 在手上的重复压力做任务
  • 循环或升降重量

您的医生将首先接受您的病史并进行体检。他们会检查你的肘部，手腕和手。你的医生也可能做一个简单的测试，看看你是否在沥青上感到刺痛的尺神经。

这些成像测试可以帮助您的医生诊断乌尔没有隧道综合征，并排除另一个医疗问题的可能性，导致症状。

由于许多概念隧道综合征病例是由神经节或囊肿引起的，因此手术是删除它们并治疗条件的必要条件。然而，可以用非局部选择治疗尺骨隧道综合征的其他原因。

非必要的选择are safer, faster, and easier, but they may not be as effective. Talk to your doctor to determine the best treatment option for your ulnar tunnel syndrome.

Surgery

Surgery is necessary to remove the ganglion or cyst that’s causing the pressure on your wrist. Scars and other growths may also need to be removed if they cause ulnar tunnel syndrome. Another option is to use surgery to relieve the pressure in the wrist by cutting a ligament.

手术后，你应该感到浮雕。刺痛，疼痛和麻木应该消失。然而，你的尺骨术治疗可能需要几个月的时间。您需要在恢复过程中进行康复治疗和具体练习。您的医生可以为您提供有关适合您的康复练习的更多信息。

用于治疗尺骨隧道综合征的非静电选择涉及识别在手或手腕中引起压力或创伤的原因。您可能需要切换到符合人体工程学和填充工具或其他对象。您可能还需要更改作业，消除振动工具，并以不同的方式握住手腕。

物理，职业和按摩疗法可能有助于缓解症状。柜台上（OTC）和处方疼痛Revievers或抗炎药也可能有所帮助。您的医生可能会建议皮质类固醇注入临时浮雕。您也可能从佩戴夹板或手腕支架中受益。
