I have carpal tunnel in both hands. I wear a wrist splint on my right hand at night. Thus I have a problem with numb hands when I ride, no matter the position of my hands.
My old gloves with gel inserts from last summer wore outm , and those gloves had been very good for minimizing my numbness problem. Last month I did an urban event ride that was quite bumpy, and I went over numerous railroad tracks and patched pavement and I wasn't wearing gel gloves. That night I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with excruciating pain in my right arm and I had to get into the doctor for a prescription. The prescription cleared up the pain within 24 hours. I immediately clicked into TE and purchased the new gel gloves and the new gloves have actually alleviated some of the numbness I get when I ride. I've had much longer and bumpier rides with the new gloves, and no wee hours screaming arm pain.

I like these gloves. I got them for my first century last year and wore them on my 200km Brevet this year. They are my first choice for longer rides.
Trekhawk who has a few too many sets of gloves.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
