MARS WELLNESS Premium Adult Elbow Immobilizer Stabilizer Support Brace/Splint – Cubital Tunnel Brace for Sleeping – Ulnar Nerve Brace, Tennis, Tendonitis Elbow Brace – Small/Medium

Effective in reducing night pain associated with cubital tunnel syndrome
I work in orthopedics, so I think my expectations for this brace and form of treatment (of night bracing) is more realistic than most of the other reviewers. This brace, along with other night splints, are designed to alleviate or lessen pain at night, which is typically the worst time for this type of syndrome because people often lay with bent elbows for long periods of time, putting pressure on the lunar nerve. This brace will alleviate pain and numbness associated with ulnar nerve compression at night. It will not completely eliminate day pain too when only worn at night. As for the fit, I’m skeptical that people aren’t applying correctly. I have skinny arms (biceps diameter: 11 inches, forearm diameter: 9.5 inches) and I’m an active/rough sleeper and the small/medium fits me well and hasn’t fallen off after a week of wearing.For my case specifically, I am currently experiencing significant cubital tunnel syndrome 24/7 because I’m 8 months pregnant. My day pain and numbness remains the same, but my hand strength is much better when I wake up because my nerve isn’t compressed while I sleep. My night pain has been relieved. I was waking up every 1-2 hours with severe elbow and forearm pain along with numbness of the ulnar nerve distribution (pinky, ring and 1/2 of middle finger) that would prevent me from falling back asleep and then prevent me from holding a tooth brush or opening orange juice in the morning because of the weakness caused by the nerve compression. The brace alleviated that for me. I will still wake up occasionally with pain because I would hyperextend (the brace prevents flexion past 20 degrees and hyperextening more than 5 degrees, but it rarely happens and the quality of sleep has drastically improved and the amount of pain has drastically decreased.The summary is that this brace did not alleviate 100% of the pain, but it drastically reduced it and improved my quality of sleep and hand strength in the morning. I cannot sleep without it and am very thankful I purchased it. If your night pain and numbness is severe and preventing you from sleeping and/or causing weakness, then I highly recommend it! The most effective treatment is a steroid injection, but an orthopedic physician will want to know you tried the conservative treatment of a brace first. This is a reasonably price, effective first option for treatment.

Great for nighttime pain
This cuff fits well over my elbow and really helped with pain reduction. Only needed to use it for a few weeks and pain was much better.

Exactly what I needed
Mars Wellness elbow immobilizer-stabilizer is easy to put on and the most comfortable splint I have worn. I would highly recommend it.

Awkward to use on right arm (with your left hand).
Item was recommended to me by a therapist to use on my right elbow for ulnar nerve entrapment. Unfortunately, I ordered a size too large and had to return it. Since it was too large, I found it awkward to manipulate and get it to fit properly with my left hand. It might have worked better if I had ordered a smaller size and, therefore, not had so much excess material to work with. I will probably order a smaller size to see if that works. I found the item to be well made and the price reasonable.
