I experienced this yesterday when driving on the interstate. I played with the positioning of the hand from shifting most of the weight off the hands to putting the thumb on top of the throttle. The position that I noticed the quickest regain of feeling in the thumb was when I rotated the hand a few degrees counter-clockwise, pulling pressure off of the metacarpal region( between the Thumb and Index fingers). I hope this helps.
