you know... I was discussing that subject with a friend and I came to a conclusion that that is just a new term for doctors to use so they could supply drugs that we don't really need....
I used the old-fashioned methods and a suggestion from a friend:
use the ice-pack on the wrist for 10 minutes and soak it in (bearable) hot water for another 10 minutes. did it three times a day.
to reduce the pressure, keep your hand in the heart-level position (upright)
