Non-specific treatments include: * Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): ibuprofen, naproxen or aspirin * Heat or ice * A counterforce brace or<unk>  strap" to reduce strain at the<unk>  epicondyle, to limit pain provocation and to protect against further damage. Before anesthetics and steroids are used, conservative treatment with an occupational therapist may be attempted. Before therapy can commence, treatment such as rest, ice, compression and elevation (R.I.C.E.) will typically be used. This will help to decrease the pain and inflammation; rest will alleviate discomfort because<unk>  is an overuse injury. The subject can use a tennis<unk>  splint for compression. A pad can be placed anteromedially on the proximal forearm. The splint is made in 30–45 degrees of<unk>  flexion. A daytime<unk>  pad also may be useful, by limiting additional trauma to the nerve. Simple analgesic medication has a place, as does more specific treatment with oral anti-inflammatory medications. These will help control pain and any inflammation. A more invasive treatment is the injection into and around the inflamed and tender area of a glucocorticoid (steroid) agent. After causing an initial exacerbation of symptoms lasting 24 to 48 hours, this may produce an improvement of the condition in some five to seven days. Physical therapy Therapy includes a variety of exercises for muscle and tendon reconditioning, starting with stretching and gradual strengthening of the flexor-pronator muscles. Strengthening will slowly begin with isometrics and progresses to eccentric exercises helping to extend the range of motion back to where it once was. After the strengthening exercises, it is common for the subject to ice the area. Surgery After 6 months if the symptoms do not improve, surgery may be recommended. Surgical debridement or cleaning of the area is one of the most common treatments. The ulnar nerve may also be decompressed surgically. If the appropriate remediation steps are taken – rest, ice, and rehabilitative exercise and stretching – recovery may follow. Few subjects will need to progress to steroid injection, and less than 10% will require surgical intervention. Arthroscopy is not an option for treating<unk> .
