Tips for maximum relief include:
- Make sure your gloves fit well. If they're too tight or too loose, there's less chance you'll get any benefits from wearing them. Ask your doctor or therapist if you need help with fit.
- Stick with the eight-hour rule. You probably won't see any changes if you only wear them for an hour here and there.
- If you also have carpal tunnel syndrome, talk to your doctor before you try the gloves. Your carpal tunnel symptoms could get worse if you wear arthritis gloves at night.
