AidBrace Night Wrist Sleep Support Brace - Fits Both Hands - Cushioned to Help With Carpal Tunnel and Relieve and Treat Wrist Pain - Adjustable

I started getting pain in the wrist center (where you'd take your pulse) after being on the Macbook Pro too much.I was resting them on the computer. Sometimes, the sharp edge was the problem. But just have pressure against a hard surface began to hurt after putting in many hours on it. So I read about these wrist wraps, bought 2, and gave them a try because I noticed the pain was sometimes worse AFTER a nights sleep. I think I was curling the hands in response to the pain, making it worse by cringing or something.My impressions are:PROSI noticed improvement within 3 days and stopped wearing them after 5 days.When the pain happened again after another computer project, again, 3-5 days use, pain gone.They work on either hand.The styrofoam ball bean bag inside forces your hand to rest in a cup shape. Like they would on a computer mouse.You can adjust how tight. I didn't wrap them tight up the arm. The hold was enough when on loose.They didn't make me feel warm (probably because they are open-hand)Sizing was good. I have a medium sized hand, 6' reach with arms outstretched, slender build.Stitching and fabric appear well made. I have a thumb/wrist thing I got from a clinic that cost $120 out of pocket that fell apart after a month of daily use. This looks to be about as good or better.Decent pricing.CONSPutting the strap on can easily feel too tight.Hard to do some things (like check your phone) because of the rigidity (which is the point of wearing them)Had to unhinge and scutch the fitbit band to its last hole up the arm for wearing at night.Follow-up:I started getting pain in the wrists from extended cycling. These helped a bit, but not 100%. Maybe 50%. So it shows that carpel tunnels you get from being on a laptop is different than how the hands go for cycling. It helped, but not as completely as pain caused by the other activity. Cycling must put more stress in other areas of the wrist as well that this doesn't aim to immobilize to help.

I purchased this brace to keep my hands from falling asleep while I sleep. I was using smaller braces that were not specifically for sleeping, but my hands still fell asleep. I decided to try this because I now have nerve damage, and I am trying to minimize the damage until I have Carpal Tunnel surgery. This brace works so well and is so comfortable, I purchased another for my other hand even through it was $18 (when I bought the 2nd one, it was on sale for $15.) My hands don't fall asleep! It has a metal split inside and is a long brace, so it covers from where my fingers meet my palm to about 1/3 of the way up my forearm, with two separate straps that attach wherever you need with Velcro. This is good because you want it to totally immobilize your wrist while you sleep to prevent your wrist from curling up and putting pressure on the nerve. But it is also really comfortable; I have no trouble sleeping with one on each arm every night. It has a bean bag type cushion in the part where your palm goes that tapers down the wrist, and the rest is very plushy yet stable material. Super comfortable! I would definitely recommend these to anyone who has to split their wrists at night because these really work.

I had purchased this to help out with the Repetive Strain Injury that I had recently found myself suffering from. I was experiencing pain first in my right palm (just below my pinkie) and then in left index finger. I am a programmer so my hands are a very important part of my livelihood. After doing some research online, I decided on purchasing this support brace to wear while I was sleeping, giving my wrist time to properly heal from the day's work.It took some getting used to at first, but in a few days my hands started to feel much better. This brace works well on both hands. If I'm feeling pain that day, wearing this at night goes a long way to relieve it. Highly recommend it.When I had a minor issue with the palm support coming apart, I emailed them to ask if there was anything that could be done to fix it. I was just past my 30 day return window so I wasn't sure how much luck I would have. I emailed them on a Saturday and got a response on a Sunday. Mark in Customer Service went above and beyond. AidBrace makes great products and is quick to respond to any concerns you may. If you're suffering from RSI, stop procrastinating and get this product.

After suffering for months with fitful sleep due to hand, arm and shoulder pain, I went to my doctor who surprised me with a diagnosis that I probably was suffering from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Her advice was for me to pick up a wrist brace of my choosing at my pharmacy, which happens to be our local Walgreen's, and see if it would help. I picked up a Walgreen's branded brace and was quite surprised that it cost over $30.00. I purchased it, used it that night, and experienced immediate relief. Since my other wrist, arm and shoulder was experiencing similar pain but to a lesser degree, I decided to purchase a second brace. I was hopeful that I could find one that was less expensive. I ended up purchasing the AidBrace from Amazon and discovered it was indistinguishable from the Walgreen's branded one that I purchased earlier, except for the fact that it was approximately half the price. Even the branding tag that says Walgreen's or AidBrace looks identical except for the name. I now generally wear at least one every night, and it doesn't matter which one. I am very pleased with both of them, but obviously it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out which one is the preferred purchase.
