ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method of use for treating carpal tunnel syndrome designed to permit delivery of a sustained release, depot form of a corticosteroid agent at an adequate therapeutic dosage, directly into the center of the carpal tunnel. The apparatus consists of an armboard adapted for receiving and securing a human forearm and hand. In a preferred embodiment, the armboard also includes at least one forearm bracket and at least one wrist bracket having an integrally formed centering pointer and needle guide for delivery of medication into the carpal tunnel. In one embodiment of the method of use, an anesthetic agent and a corticosteroid are delivered by a needle installation directly into the anatomic center of the carpal tunnel in order to produce the desired pharmacological effects.
