Commonly asked questions

No. It's a screening test. It can help with the diagnostic process but should not be relied on as the sole assessment for ulnar nerve palsy.

Common treatments include medications for pain relief and to prevent nerve spasms, hand splints to support hands and hopefully provide comfort, physical therapy to help restore strength in the thumb, wrist, and hand, and occupational therapy to prevent palsy or injury from getting worse.
