Cubital Tunnel Brace for Ulnar Nerve Entrapment Treatment

You have probably been the victim of an assault to your ulnar nerve, which can occur when you hit your “funny bone”. Normally, the sharp elbow pain, tingling, and numbness only last a few seconds, but with repeated irritation, this pain and subsequent damage can last for days.

Your ulnar nerve covers a lot of real estate, traveling from the neck region of your spinal cord all the way down the forearm to your hand. It can become entrapped or pinched at numerous points besides the cubital tunnel of your elbow, though cubital tunnel syndrome happens to be one of the most common reasons for nerve entrapment neuropathy in your upper limb. (Click here to learn more about ulnar nerve injuries and pain)

What is Cubital Tunnel Syndrome? (Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Causes and Treatment)

Not to be confused with carpal tunnel arm pain stemming from compression of the median nerve in the wrist area or radial tunnel syndrome, where the radial nerve is compressed, cubital tunnel syndrome refers to irritation or compression of the ulnar nerve in the cubital tunnel area of your elbow. This area of the body is also known as your funny bone. (BraceAbility also stocks radial tunnel splints.)

A number of things cause discomfort associated with cubital tunnel syndrome to occur, such as:

  • Leaning on your elbow for a long period of time

  • Excessive pressure or stretching near your elbow

  • Fluid buildup or a blow to your elbow

  • Certain jobs or hobbies (e.g. bowling) that require repetitive or prolonged bending of your elbows

  • Conditions like diabetes can increase your likelihood of irritating the ulnar nerve

  • Pre-existing conditions like arthritis or bone spurs can also increase your risk

  • Sleeping with a pillow flexed hard between your head and shoulder

Besides being careful not to put pressure on your elbow as you go about your day, you might wear protective pads or elbow splints for ulnar nerve protection. If you work in front of a computer, it is important to avoid using the armrests on your chair and to exercise proper posture. You could also buy an ergonomic computer mouse for ulnar nerve pain. In addition, a nighttime brace for ulnar nerve entrapment can help prevent excessive bending of your arm while you sleep.

Your doctor may also recommend cubital tunnel syndrome treatment exercises to help the ulnar nerve slide through the cubital tunnel at the elbow more smoothly. Engaging in cubital tunnel syndrome treatment physical therapy can also help prevent your arm and wrist from getting stiff.

5 Reasons Why People Love This Cubital Tunnel Syndrome Elbow Brace

Wearing a cubital tunnel syndrome brace can help reduce ulnar nerve-related pain or symptoms including numbness or tingling of your ring finger and pinky finger (carpal tunnel symptoms of the arm affect the other fingers), weakening grip and finger coordination, and muscle wasting of the hand. However, this elbow brace has many features that help it stand out from other elbow splints on the market—both in terms of function, comfort, and fit.

  1. Holds Your Elbow at a Comfortable 122-Degree Angle

    This elbow splint was specifically designed to immobilize your arm at a 122-degree angle, protecting your elbow joint against excessive flexion (bending) or hyperextension (over straightening), to reduce tension on your ulnar nerve.

  2. Three Adjustable Straps Ensure a Secure Fit

    Three medical-grade straps help ensure a secure and stable fit for proper immobilization during recovery. Plus, the open style eliminates compression at the elbow where your ulnar nerve is most vulnerable, which is critical for a quick recovery.

  3. High-Density Shell and Plush Liner

    An effective cubital tunnel splint must have adequate strength to keep your elbow joint in place so that it does not allow excessive flexion or extension. The hard, polyethylene shell on this brace protects your elbow from damaging movements, as well as impact or compression of your ulnar nerve. And it is lined with a soft, plush cloth material, in hopes of enhancing your comfort during extended wear.

  4. Can Be Worn at Night While Sleeping

    The use of “night splinting” is becoming increasingly popular, especially when it comes to treating carpal tunnel and plantar fasciitis. This cubital tunnel syndrome brace can be worn throughout the day or night for pain relief.

    However, you should always consult with your doctor before purchasing any elbow sling, brace, or splint. Depending on your symptoms, your physician might recommend keeping your elbow straight while sleeping.

  5. Provides Post-Surgical Support and Protection

    If the conservative modes of cubital syndrome treatment fail to bring relief, you want to consider surgery to reduce pressure on your ulnar nerve. Depending on what type of surgical procedure you undergo, you might need to wear an elbow brace for ulnar nerve protection for several weeks after. The unique design of this elbow splint permits easy access to any dressing after surgery.
