Should I take off my wrist brace for exercises?

I was recently diagnosed with carpal tunnel, and given some hand and wrist exercises.  They also told me to wear a brace at all times except when bathing.  So my question is, am I supposed to remove the brace when doing the exercises, or leave it on?

I'd ask the doctor to clarify his instructions.  personally i'd take it off unless the pain is just unbearable.  i usually had pain at night while sleeping and i wore a brace for awhile until i couldn't stand wearing it.  It is my understanding the only to get rid of carpal tunnel is to have surgery, i had carpal tunnel on my left hand and i had surgery.  the problems i was having from carpal tunnel are now history.  good luck
