Can wearing magnets help carpal tunnel?

I assume you mean carpal tunnel syndrome? The carpal tunnel is simply the area affected by the problem. There can be many causes of this, none of which are affected by the use of magnets. There has been no evidence to show that magnets help carpal tunnel at all. There has been double blind studies where the doctor nor the patient knows if they have the "real treatment" or the "fake treatment", and at the end they look at both groups..if the fake or placebo group does just as good or better than the tested or real treatment, you know it doesn't work. This type of study has been done with magnets to no avail.

Can you get carpal tunnel from playing video games?

It is possible to get carpal tunnel syndrome from playing video games, but there is a small risk of getting carpal tunnel from anything that you partake in for an extended amount of time. Video game console controllers are usually built to form to the relaxed position of the hand, while putting your hand in a position which is found comfortable. Many studies have been done just to form the controllers used today. Since the movements of the hand during gameplay are repetitive, it does slightly increase the odds of you getting carpal tunnel, but not enough to worry about.
