There is recent evidence that acupuncture aids in recovery from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). A 51-year-old British school crossing patrol officer showed significant improvement with acupuncture – not a cure but she was able to continue working. A Boston University School of Medicine study tracked 11 mild to moderate CTS cases which had failed to respond to standard medical or surgical treatment for 3 to 30 months. All could perform their previous work (computer typist, handyman) and were stable for 1 to 3 years.
