Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Common causes include repetitive hand movements, wrist injuries, pregnancy, obesity, and medical conditions like diabetes. These factors increase pressure on the median nerve. Treatment options aim to alleviate symptoms and may include rest, wrist splints, anti-inflammatory medications, and physical therapy. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to relieve pressure and restore normal nerve function. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can significantly improve outcomes.
