	<span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">61 patients with clinically diagnosed and electromyographically
confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome were enrolled in a prospective study to
evaluate the effectiveness of a nerve supplement on pillar pain after carpal
tunnel surgery. All of the patients underwent endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
15 of the patients also took the nerve support supplement NeuroGen<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;\"><sup>?</sup></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> as part of their perioperative treatment. The supplement group demonstrated a
significantly lower amount of pillar pain (VAS) at initial follow up compared
to the control group (1.13 and 4.05 respectively). 46% (7/15) of the supplement
group were completely free of pillar pain compared to only 9% (4/46) of the
control group at the first follow up. 53% (8/15) of the NeuroGen<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;\"><sup>?</sup></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> group did not require any pain medications compared to 35% (16/46) of the control
group. The Nerve supplement NeuroGen<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size:11.5pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;\"><sup>?</sup></span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> significantly reduces pain
after carpal tunnel surgery.</span></span>
