I've had carpal tunnel for a while now in both hands. Recently, it's become much worse, and I just requested "reasonable accommodation" (mouse and numeric keypad) from work today. I'm not great about wearing them, but these wrist braces Amazon Link have been the only thing so far that relieves the numbness. They are far better than the braces available at drugstores, and after more than 2 years of use, both are still in great condition. Highly recommend!
Edit: just a tip - don't wear them tight. It's enough to just keep your hand in this relaxed position, even during work.
This is a cool idea! I don’t have much to contribute besides the fact that I love these static braces and wear them on both wrists when typing and clicking with the mouse become too much.
I got this and wore it day and night for about 5 days until I was pain free.

Now when carrying baby and stuff i try and keep my wrist straight, I was keeping it crooked while tensing my arm muscles which is was pinching my tendon.
Try a wrist brace instead. I had the same issues and got one, after a few weeks of on and off wear my wrist felt normal and I have not really had to wear it since.
I have one from Amazon (Mueller)

But the best one I got from my medical provider when i broke a bone in my palm. It is by Med Spec and Amazon also sells them - it has much better support
