Can you wear a support bandage at night?

If you are talking about an elastic or "Ace" wrap or tensor bandage, I would say NO. These type of things will constrict flow and cause swelling distal to or on the other side of the bandage. So you will get increased swelling at your hand and fingers and for carpal tunnel this will aggravate your condition. For carpal tunnel syndrome or other conditions in where you want to keep the wrist in a neutral position, you need to wear a night splint made especially for this purpose. Pil-o-splints are probably the best overall for this type of thing.
