Product Information

What’s more, make sure your brace can be washed. Since wrist supports are worn on your hands, they’re likely to get dirty as you go about your day. Even if you wear a support at night, it can get sweaty as you sleep. You want something that can be cleaned effectively so that dirt and bacteria won’t adhere to your hands. Wrist tendonitis is the inflammation of a tendon within the wrist. Learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatment of wrist tendonitis here. READ MORE

Proponents suggest that copper bracelets may help ease the aches and pains of stiff and sore joints. While some research supports their use, even more studies indicate that they have no clinical impact. Made of breathable materials free of latex and neoprene, the Mueller Carpal Tunnel Wrist Stabilizer features a removable metal spoon and padded side splints for comfort and support. The brace strengthens and stabilizes your wrist so you can go about your everyday activities comfortably. The Mueller Adjustable Night Wrist Brace offers stability, helping your wrist stay in a neutral position while you sleep. The brace features interior padding and a palm cushion to improve comfort and reduce pain, tingling, and numbness. That said, if your wrists are smaller in size, it can be difficult to get a secure and snug fit, causing the brace to move around a lot on the wrist. With tiny wrists, using this brace will require frequent adjustment and re-tightening. If a brace doesn’t stay in place well, it won’t keep the wrist in the neutral position required for carpal tunnel pain relief. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a ery common cause of wrist pain that can lead to weakness and a loss of sensation. It also can limit your daily activities, impede your work, and impact your quality of life. The most common non-surgical treatment for CTS is splinting your wrist at night with a rigid splint like the BraceOwl Carpal Tunnel Wrist Brace.

Miller AA, Knight KL, Feland JB, Draper DO. Neoprene thigh sleeves and muscle cooling after exercise. J Athl Train. 2005;40(4):264-270. The brace’s memory foam lining and adjustable closures pair to fit most wrist sizes, while the breathable fabric maintains air circulation. We found the brace surprisingly comfortable after an initial break-in period. It was easy to slip on, and the secure fit felt almost like a second skin. If you have larger wrists or dislike the feel of tight fabric, however, you may find this one too snug. While adjustable, the thumb hole doesn't offer as much versatility as other models, but those who are searching for a flexible solution to everyday pain will appreciate this brace. We tested the carpal tunnel braces based on four key attributes: effectiveness, comfort, adjustability, and value. We ranked each brace on a scale of one to five, with five being the best. During the course of four weeks, we used the braces daily while performing regular activities, including typing, writing, and sleeping. The final scores were determined after compiling the results of these real-life experiences. In addition to using the products, we spoke with hand specialists to get their professional opinions on using braces to relieve the pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Our data-driven approach allows us to assess each product’s performance objectively.

In addition to the extra support from the straps, the lightweight aluminum splint and mesh material create a secure spot for your wrist that is both comfortable and breathable. It should be noted, though, that the stitching in this brace can be bothersome for some. If you find you want a more seamless design, you may prefer the ComfyBrace Premium Lined Wrist Support, which we recommend below. However, tendonitis usually only needs short-term bracing, so you may decide the stitching is not a huge issue. Although the ComfyBrace Night Wrist Sleep Support Brace would be most effective for someone with larger wrists, we appreciated just how comfortable and adjustable it was. With a soft, squishy cushion and breathable fabric, the brace didn’t heat up during sleep, plus it offered a lot of flexibility in sizing down to a certain point (and can be used on either hand, eliminating the need to buy two). This sturdy wrist brace is available in three different adjustable sizes. It provides support using an aluminum insert that is removable, as well. This is a great option for anyone who has carpal tunnel, arthritis, or tendinitis. If you’re used to being active, nothing is more frustrating than when wrist pain keeps you sidelined. The ComfyBrace Premium Lined Wrist Brace is a low-profile wrist support so comfortable you may even forget you are wearing it.

Selecting a wrist brace is best done in collaboration with a healthcare provider who can advise you on what type of brace is best for your condition. Keep in mind that not every condition is best treated with brace wear, Dr. Halim says. For example, most patients with de Quervain’s syndrome—a common type of tendonitis that affects postpartum people—actually have worsening symptoms when they wear a brace because the brace can put pressure on the irritated or inflamed tendon. Mueller states that the product’s material is lightweight and breathable, while the lining consists of recycled latex-free polyethene terephthalate. The company also says the wrist brace comprises nonpetroleum-based materials. Generally, if you’re wearing a brace to provide complete rest for a joint, you need to wear it all day, Auliff says. However, if the brace is just for support, Auliff suggests taking it off throughout the day and gently moving or stretching to avoid stiffness. Keep in mind this wrist support is the heaviest on our list, weighing in at 5.29 ounces. While that may not seem like a lot, for someone with small hands or decreased muscle tone, it may be a challenge. Talk to your healthcare provider about whether or not this resting splint is best for your recovery. This wrist brace features an alternative design, taking the form of fingerless gloves. These compress not just the wrist but also the hands and fingers to provide more support. In addition, Copper Compression states the glove design allows more mobility than other wrist brace designs.
