Wrist is splinted in neutral position .

Many people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome wear a splint at night for a few weeks. The splint holds the joint in a neutral position. The symptoms are worse at night because your hand is more likely to bend while you're sleeping. It stabilizes your wrist in a straight and sometimes slightly bent-back position. Wearing a wrist splint minimizes pressure on the median nerve and allows you a period of relative rest from movements that make carpal tunnel syndrome worse.

Splint should be wore over the back of the arm. The metal insert should run along the inside of the arm onto the palm of the hand. The splint should not restrict any finger movements. Splints can be washed in warm water, but the metal bar should be removed.

Answer:

e.  creating a bottleneck

Explanation:

Creating a bottleneck is the nearest concept to Gate Control Theory among options of the question

"As a number of factors determine which pain messages are allowed to get through the gate and reach the brain, such as:

    Strength of the pain message

   Competing messages, such as touch or heat

   Brain signals giving high or low priority to the pain message

A key element of the theory is the concept of a gate that allows pain signals to reach the brain when it is open, and blocks the signals when it is closed. When a quick signal from a nerve fiber can close the gate, it can keep the slower messages from getting through, resulting in less pain."
