Does Wearing Splints Help To Reduce Pain?

Hi! My name is Andrea, but I m not the one with the problem. My son is 21 yrs old and he has gone to neurologist. He had 2 test done. One was a conductive nerve test and the other one was another test to see if he has muscles damage. he have nerve damage and he is always in pain but the dr. Won t give him anything for the pain now. He wants him to where Splints to see if that helps before surgery. So, please tell me if this is going to help him with pain. I just want a second opinion for my son.
