How many of you with CTS wear a hand brace? When do you wear it? Some recommend wearing it as often as possible, while others say to give your hand a rest and maybe only wear it during sleep or non-activities. I find that I really can't get used to the feel. However, I'll wear it for bowling.

    

I wear a brace. I wear it mostly when doing the activity that aggravates my CTS (typing at the keyboard). My doctor had also told me that wearing it in the evening was the best since that is when the wrists get aggravated the most.

I think the ACE version was more cumbersome to use. I liked one I found at the drugstore that has a metal bar in it. It is very effective and easy to put on and off.

I'm not sure which one is the ACE. But the one I have also has the metal bar in it. When I was an undergrad my aunt had bought me some hand braces that had no metal bar, it was just like a fingerless glove, sorta. I'm not sure it helped. My mom swears by magnetic bracelets for her ct.
