Ulnar nerve typically supplies the intrinsic muscles of the hand. Hence the tests for ulnar nerve are based on the functions performed by these muscles.

How do you relieve a trapped nerve?
The answer truly depends on the severity of the ulnar entrapment and the location of the ulnar nerve entrapment. Milder ulnar nerve entrapments can sometimes be relieved with physical therapy and bracing the arm in a position that lessens pressure on the ulnar nerve. Moderate entrapments of the ulnar nerve may respond to physical therapy combined with a steroid injection to relieve inflammation. More severe entrapments may require surgical interventions. The most common location for an ulnar nerve entrapment is at the elbow, this is called an ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). When this is severe the surgical procedure that is utilized is referred to as a surgical transposition of the ulnar nerve & involves moving the ulnar nerve from the back of the elbow to the front of the elbow. Speak with a neuromuscular specialist regarding your case if you feel that you have an ulnar entrapment, and always keep in mind that you may want to get a second opinion. Be prepared for the possibility of an electrodiagnostic examination. This test would help determine if ulnar nerve is involved, where along the ulnar nerve the lesion is, & how severe the ulnar nerve lesion is.
