Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
arpal Tunnel Syndrome occurs when the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, causing numbness, weakness, or pain in the hand, wrist, or sometimes forearm. Symptoms often appear at night, and people may feel the need to “shake out” the hand or wrist.
Complications
Muscle wasting at the base of the thumb in chronic or untreated cases
Reduced ability to distinguish hot and cold by touch
Risk Factors
Women are three times more likely than men to develop CTS
Diagnosis and Treatment
Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent permanent nerve damage. Doctors rely on medical history, physical exams, and specific tests such as the Tinel test. Nerve conduction tests may be used to confirm the diagnosis.
