What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when pressure on the median nerve affects the function of the hands and wrists. The median nerve passes through the carpal tunnel, a narrow passage formed by the transverse carpal ligament at the base of the thumb. When compressed, this nerve can cause numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. If left untreated, CTS may worsen, leading to weakness and difficulty gripping objects.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Common symptoms of carpal tunnel include:

Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers
Pain and discomfort that may radiate from the wrist to the forearm
Weakness in the hand, making it difficult to grasp objects
Burning sensation or shock-like pain in the fingers
Worsening symptoms at night, often disrupting sleep

Causes and Risk Factors

Carpal tunnel syndrome is often linked to increased pressure on the nerve in the carpal tunnel due to various factors, including:

Repetitive hand movements (typing, using tools, assembly line work)
Medical conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, or hypothyroidism
Genetics, as some people naturally have a narrower carpal tunnel
Hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy
Wrist injuries or fractures, causing swelling and pressure
