Cubital Tunnel Syndrome (CuTS) is a compressive neuropathy of the ulnar nerve as it passes through the cubital tunnel at the elbow. It is the second most common entrapment neuropathy after carpal tunnel syndrome.

The condition arises due to repeated elbow flexion, prolonged pressure, trauma, arthritis, ganglion cysts, or anatomical narrowing that irritate or compress the ulnar nerve.

Common symptoms include numbness, tingling, or pain in the ring and little fingers, weakness of grip, difficulty in finger coordination, and atrophy of intrinsic hand muscles in chronic cases.
Pain or paresthesia often worsens when the elbow is bent for long periods (e.g., holding a phone, sleeping with bent arm).

Diagnosis is based on clinical tests (Tinel’s sign at the elbow, elbow flexion test) and nerve conduction studies.
Conventional treatment includes rest, splinting, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and in severe or refractory cases, surgical decompression.

Homoeopathy views Cubital Tunnel Syndrome as a local manifestation of systemic imbalance—often linked with nerve inflammation, trauma, rheumatic diathesis, or degenerative changes.
Treatment aims to:

• Reduce inflammation and compression of the ulnar nerve
• Restore nerve conduction and muscle strength
• Relieve pain, numbness, and tingling
• Prevent recurrence and chronic atrophy

Remedies are selected on the totality of symptoms—especially the character of pain (burning, tingling, shooting), side affected, aggravating factors, and the patient’s constitution.
Homoeopathy offers long-term relief by enhancing nerve regeneration and tissue recovery, making it valuable even in chronic or post-surgical cases.tive recovery..

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Cuboital Tunnel Syndrome

Numbness and Tingling in Fingers – Hypericum Perforatum

Best suited for nerve injuries or compressions. Tingling, shooting, and burning pains radiating along the arm. Tremendous nerve sensitivity and soreness to touch. Excellent for post-traumatic or pressure-induced ulnar nerve irritation.

Burning Pain with Nerve Tenderness – Arsenicum Album

Burning, stitching pains worse at night and from cold exposure. Marked restlessness and weakness. Useful in chronic neuropathic conditions with degeneration and anxiety.

Pain and Weakness After Injury – Ruta Graveolens

Indicated in strain or overuse injury of ligaments and tendons around the elbow joint. Soreness, bruised pain, and weakness of arm. Restores strength and flexibility of the tissues compressing the nerve.

Neuralgic Pain Along Ulnar Nerve – Kalmia Latifolia

Sharp, shooting pains radiating down the arm to the fingers. Numbness alternating with pain, worse from movement. Very effective for neuralgic and rheumatic affections of peripheral nerves.

Tingling with Weak Grip – Plumbum Metallicum

Progressive weakness and numbness in hands. Fingers feel stiff and heavy, with tremor or atrophy in advanced cases. Suitable for motor nerve degeneration and muscle wasting.

Compression Neuropathy with Shooting Pain – Bellis Perennis

Deep, bruised soreness of the arm after trauma or repetitive strain. Acts as a muscular and nerve tonic for injuries from overuse or direct pressure. Particularly helpful for occupational neuropathies.

Numbness Worse from Cold – Agaricus Muscarius

For chill-induced nerve affections. Twitching, tingling, or itching sensations in fingers and hands. Pains like electric shocks, with trembling and poor coordination.

Pain and Cramps in Arm Muscles – Cuprum Metallicum

For spasmodic contraction, cramps, and stiffness of hand and forearm. Trembling of fingers, numbness, and weakness from nerve exhaustion or strain.

Neuralgia with Soreness and Numbness – Magnesia Phosphorica

Cramping and shooting pains relieved by warmth and pressure. Acts on motor and sensory nerves, providing soothing relief in compressive or inflammatory neuropathies.

Cold, Numb Hands with Tingling – Calcarea Carbonica

Suited to chilly, overweight individuals with weak muscles and sluggish circulation. Numbness, heaviness, and tingling in extremities, worse from exertion or cold exposure.

Pains Radiating from Elbow to Fingers – Gnaphalium Polycephalum

Nerve pain with numbness and tingling along the ulnar distribution. Alternate pain and numbness, worse from motion. Useful in neuritis following compression.

Chronic Neuropathy with Atrophy – Causticum

Progressive paralysis of hand and fingers, with numbness and inability to grasp. Suited to chronic or degenerative cases with muscle wasting and nerve weakness.

Ulnar Neuralgia from Repetitive Motion – Rhus Toxicodendron

Pain and stiffness in elbow and wrist, worse on first movement and in damp weather; better by continued motion. Excellent for rheumatic and strain-induced nerve compressions.

Nerve Irritation After Blunt Injury – Ledum Palustre

Numbness, prickling, and soreness following elbow trauma. Coldness of hands and intolerance to heat. Useful in traumatic neuropathy of upper limbs.

Weakness and Formication After Exhaustion – Phosphorus

Burning, tingling, and weakness in arms and hands. Numbness in fingertips, worse from exertion. Supports nerve vitality and regeneration.

Pain in Elbow with Radiating Numbness – Cimicifuga Racemosa

Shooting or drawing pains from shoulder to fingers. Nervous irritability and hypersensitivity. Excellent remedy for neuralgic and myalgic pain involving nerve compression.

Inflammation and Stiffness of Joints with Nerve Pain – Bryonia Alba

Pain aggravated by slightest motion and relieved by rest. For cubital tunnel cases associated with arthritis or joint inflammation causing secondary nerve compression.

Tingling and Weakness with Nerve Degeneration – Gelsemium Sempervirens

Heaviness, trembling, and loss of coordination. Numbness in fingers and hands with dullness and sluggish circulation. Useful in chronic mild neuropathy.

Nerve Pain with Formication and Coldness – Zincum Metallicum

Twitching, formication, and restlessness in limbs. Useful for nerve exhaustion, chronic irritation, and ulnar distribution numbness.

Homoeopathy offers a gentle yet effective approach in Cubital Tunnel Syndrome by addressing both nerve compression and systemic predisposition.
It helps relieve pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness while improving nerve function and tissue repair.

Key remedies such as Hypericum, Kalmia Latifolia, Ruta Graveolens, Causticum, and Rhus Toxicodendron are frequently indicated based on symptom totality.
With proper rest, ergonomic correction, physiotherapy, and homoeopathic support, patients often achieve lasting relief and functional recovery without surgical intervention.
