Cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS) is a neuropathic condition characterized by the compression or irritation of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, resulting in a wide spectrum of symptoms ranging from pain and numbness to muscle weakness and impaired hand function. This comprehensive review delves into the diverse landscape of CuTS treatment approaches, emphasizing the importance of early intervention. The review explores how these strategies aim to alleviate symptoms and enhance patient well-being by beginning with conservative measures encompassing rest, splinting, medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. Non-surgical medical interventions, including nerve gliding exercises, ultrasound-guided nerve injections, and orthotic devices, are considered alternative therapies for symptom relief. Surgical interventions, such as decompression procedures and emerging techniques, are discussed in detail, highlighting their indications and expected outcomes. Throughout this review, the critical role of patient-centered care is underscored, emphasizing the need for tailored treatment plans that respect individual preferences and goals. Recognizing the unique nature of each CuTS case, shared decision-making between patients and healthcare providers is advocated, ensuring that interventions align with specific patient needs. As research advances, promising developments in diagnosis, surgical techniques, and drug therapies offer hope for more effective management of CuTS, paving the way for improved symptom relief and enhanced nerve function.
