There's a lot of fancy mechanisms out there...
This one is retarded... and it works...
No moving parts.... my buddy Gerry turned me on to them...
Simple is priceless...

I even made one myself... but, Gerry bought me real one...
Your choice...

I also have the Go Cruise. Works. Cheap. Works. No moving parts. Works. Looks cool.

This is expensive but I really like the feature that it unlocks when you apply the front brake as well as with a thumb switch. Works a charm.http://www.brakeawayproducts.com/

Lisa swears by one of the velcro in place plastic hand rests, prefers it to a throttle lock. Lets the hand relax and still operate the throttle.

Throttle lock on my bike is a spring loaded set screw. Get up to speed, give the screw a nudge tighter, it friction locks the throttle. I don't use it, after 15 years the throttle return spring on my bike has gotten weak, tends to stay open on its own.

Then you need a better fitting handlebar. If your arm/hand is going numb, you've got the wrong set up.

Lisa's 800 Intruder now runs 10" rise mini-apes. The stock bar was too low (and not adjustable, locked in place via riser tangs and bar slots). My Savage currently has 15" rise bars, but I need to shove them forward a bit and repin them in place (the stock risers don't work well with high bars).

Put a chunk of 2x4 under your kick stand. Sit in your normal riding position, let you arms and hands fall to a comfortable location. That's where your grips NEED to be. For most riders, that means stock pullback or drag bars hit the recycle pile in favor of a higher, wider bar.

I ride with high bars because I like them. Am planning a 3" or so height drop soon, and my tracker bend equipped CL Honda is getting a higher set (more like KZ440 bend).

Have you tried gel palm gloves? They usually help.

I have the same problem with my left arm, free floating bone chip in my elbow.

And in my legs from spinal cord damage at the L4/L5 level out to the end. That's why I have a higher seat and floorboards now. And the apes actually help keep me in the right position so extra weight stays on my butt, not my lower back.

practice ( i trust you wear gloves?) relaxing your grip & letting the friction created by the weight of the arm, palm down, hold it open. my hand stopped going numb when i simply learned how to manage the throttle
with less muscle, which = lighter grip, which = less vibration into the hand. i do wear gel pad gloves a lot, but plain leather works on the stock grip okay for me. people are different. how their body reacts, fingers, palm width, variables,, so, try stuff till ya get what you need,
