One patient, in his 40s, suffered from carpal tunnel syndrome for around 2 weeks. He felt quite sore and a bit painful in his right wrist. The cause might be too much use of his right hand for smartphone and mouse. He felt the weakness in the local area. No much numbness, but the sore feeling in the middle of the wrist can radiate to his forearm and hand.
It is diagnosed as the overuse of his right hand causing the deficient Shaoyang meridian. The treatment should focus on the supplement of his Shaoyang meridian. After 2 treatments with acupuncture, the patient felt much better.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is quite common when people use more and more smartphones and laptops with mouse or touchpads. Acupuncture is a quite effective way to release the symptoms. However, the only effective way for prevention is that the patients can reduce their use of smartphones and laptops.
Case NO.079
