Thumb positioning during sleep can worsen pain, while overuse throughout the day may lead to joint discomfort at night. Thumb splints are recommended to ease night-time pain associated with basal thumb arthritis. The EPITACT rigid thumb brace for arthritis securely holds the thumb in a comfortable, open position between the thumb and index finger.
This alignment supports the first thumb phalanx and the 1st metacarpal bone, minimizing pressure on the trapeziometacarpal joint and reducing pain. By keeping the thumb neutral, this brace alleviates pain and helps slow the progression of symptoms, aiding restful sleep and relaxation.
