curpal experience - curpal® is one of the so-called manual therapies for carpal tunnel syndrome and is regarded as a promising addition to conservative treatment options. Because curpal® is a completely new treatment approach for which no studies have yet been carried out, we asked our customers about their satisfaction. 297 responded - here are the figures.
In total, we surveyed around 350 customers between October 2020 and March 2021 and received 297 responses, 63% of which were women and 37% men.
When asked about the duration of use, 46% said they had used curpal® for 4 weeks, 51% said they had used it for 6 weeks and the rest had used it for 8 weeks or longer. It is important to note that the minimum duration of use should be 6 weeks.
For complaints that are more severe or have been present for a longer period of time, it may take longer for the symptoms to subside.
How do you rate the handling? What are your experiences with curpal?
We also asked our customers how they rated the handling of the cuff . Here are the results:
What were your symptoms like before carpal tunnel syndrome treatment?
12% said that they suffered from mild discomfort. 46% reported more severe symptoms, which caused them to wake up every now and then at night due to pain; and as many as 25% said that they had really severe symptoms before the treatment, which interrupted their sleep several times during the night. Either only during the day or only at night, 17% of respondents had complaints.
How often have you used curpal®?
The recommendation for the use of curpal® is 3 x 3 x 3, which means three times a day, for example in the morning, at midday and in the evening, each time for three minutes with a short interruption. Two thirds of the users followed this recommendation, one third treated less frequently. Most of the patients in this group said that the treatment did not meet their expectations.
And how successful was your treatment?
Regarding the reduction in their symptoms, 22% said they felt no change, 47% reported a slight improvement in their symptoms, 30% reported a significant improvement and 1% said they no longer had any symptoms at all after treatment with curpal®.
How old were users?
In addition to age, we were also interested in the answer to the question of how the users found curpal® in the first place. Our assumption was confirmed: 91% found curpal® while researching on the Internet, 2% were recommended the device by friends, 2% were recommended curpal® by a doctor or therapist and a further 5% became aware of the new method through newspapers and magazines.
Would you recommend curpal® to others?
"Yes, I would recommend curpal® without reservation", said 67% of those treated, 24% recommended it with reservations and only 9% were apparently not convinced and would not recommend the cuff to others. We think this is a really good result and an incentive for further improvements.
