Computer keyboards with an alternative force-displacement of the keys or an alternative geometry may be beneficial for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Exercises compared to massage; breaks during computer work compared to no breaks; massage as an add-on treatment to manual therapy; and manual therapy as an add-on treatment to exercises may have a the positive effect on work-related arm, neck or shoulder complaints .
