Warm whirlpool bath may soothe carpal tunnel pain, new study suggests

This study looks at whether a single 20-minute warm whirlpool bath can quickly reduce muscle stiffness and pain in the forearm and hand for people with carpal tunnel syndrome. About 24 adults with the condition will either take the bath or rest. Researchers will measure muscle stiffness and pain before and after to see if the bath helps more than rest alone.
