Abstract

This chapter will highlight the role of therapy in cubital tunnel syndrome. Techniques and nonsurgical treatment through the use of modalities, myofascial techniques, nerve glides, and therapeutic exercises are discussed. Outcome studies are also reported for conservative measures. Nonsurgical management may be used as long as the patient desires; however 3–6 months seems sensible based on the literature. If despite all conservative treatment, symptoms persist, then surgical management should be considered.
