The dorsal braces really worked for me! My carpal tunnel pain was caused by compressed Cervical nerves and my hands would flare up, burn and cramp every hour or two, disrupting sleep with the pain and discomfort. From the first night, wearing the braces on both hands, the flares and cramping completely ceased and after a few nights, I was finally able to get restful recooperative sleep. After months of finger/palm swelling, I think the brace has helped reduce the swelling. These splints are a life- saver for me. I am very thankful for this product.
