acetaminophen and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

acetaminophen has been researched along with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in 13 studies

Acetaminophen: Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.
paracetamol : A member of the class of phenols that is 4-aminophenol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group has been replaced by an acetyl group.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Entrapment of the MEDIAN NERVE in the carpal tunnel, which is formed by the flexor retinaculum and the CARPAL BONES. This syndrome may be associated with repetitive occupational trauma (CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS); wrist injuries; AMYLOID NEUROPATHIES; rheumatoid arthritis (see ARTHRITIS, RHEUMATOID); ACROMEGALY; PREGNANCY; and other conditions. Symptoms include burning pain and paresthesias involving the ventral surface of the hand and fingers which may radiate proximally. Impairment of sensation in the distribution of the median nerve and thenar muscle atrophy may occur. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1995, Ch51, p45)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Subjects with moderate or greater wrist pain were randomized and stratified to 1 of the following treatments: efficacy evaluation (heat wrap, n=39; oral placebo, n=42) or blinding (oral acetaminophen, n=6; unheated wrap, n=6)."5.11Continuous low-level heat wrap therapy is effective for treating wrist pain. ( Erasala, GN; Hengehold, DA; Hun, L; Michlovitz, S; Weingand, KW, 2004)
"Adequate postoperative pain control in hand surgery is a multifactorial issue affecting patient satisfaction, outcomes, and safety."2.87Pain Management After Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Double-Blinded Trial Comparing Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, and Oxycodone. ( Graham, JG; Ilyas, AM; Matzon, JL; Miller, AJ, 2018)
"Naproxen treatment, irrespective of type of operation, did not require rescue analgesics, while two patients after CTS treated with paracetamol did."2.70Acute postoperative swelling after hand surgery: an exploratory, double-blind, randomised study with paracetamol, naproxen, and placebo. ( Fyllingen, G; Haugstvedt, JR; Husby, T; Skoglund, LA, 2001)
"Ketorolac (K) is a useful addition to lidocaine for i."1.30The dose-response relationship of ketorolac as a component of intravenous regional anesthesia with lidocaine. ( Gardner, G; Reuben, SS; Steinberg, RB, 1998)
