The brace will work on your clutch side, but first some basics.

1. Stay loose on the bars
2. Adjust your levers so you don't have to bend your wrists so much to get to them
3. Think about shorty/adjustable levers to further customize your ergos
4. Make sure your gloves fit properly
5. A quick turn throttle may lessen the wrist movement needed on the throttle side
6. Keeping forearm as parallel to the ground will open your arm up to the most flexibility for inputs to the bike with minimal effort and stress
7. More frequent rest breaks could go a looooonnnngggg way to not physically overwork hands/wrists
8. Anti Inflammatories before the ride, may prevent a problem before it becomes one
9. Stretching before the ride could also lessen the effects of stress areas before they become full on pain areas
10. Preconditioning (physical therapy) to build strength and stamina could address issues and lessen effects of riding
11. fatter grips/thicker grips/padding in gloves could lessen the effects of vibration in the hands and wrists
12. Adjust friction zone and bleed brakes very well so finger movements and power/effort are minimized

Just ask if you need more ideas.
