Default polyneuropathy and carpal tunnel together

Hi,

I haven't written here for quite a while. I went to see my neurologist last week to review last nerve conduction tests. ( I have idiopathic peripheral polyneuropathy). After three years of these tests and steady but slow decline, I now have had quite a leap to worse results - particularly in my hands/arms. I have conduction blocks and now carpal tunnel in both arms. She is recommending splints.
so here is my question - I am sure there must be therapy out there for carpal tunnel, is any such therapy of any use for polyneuropathy induced carpal tunnel? Acupunture, physio, etc etc??? Seeing as they can't figure out why my nerves aren't functioning would these therapies help?

thanks for listening!
