Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) refers to a condition where the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through the wrist. This key nerve is located within a narrow passageway called the carpal tunnel, which is formed by the carpal bones and transverse carpal ligament. The median nerve provides both sensory and motor functions to substantial portions of the hand. It supplies feeling and movement to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger.
CTS has a variety of causes. Repeated hand and wrist movements, especially in certain professions, can put pressure on the median nerve over time. Swelling from inflammation or fluid retention can also compress the nerve. In some cases, an injury or other medical condition contributes to CTS.
People with CTS may feel symptoms like numbness, tingling, pain in their fingers, finger joint, and hand. Symptoms often worsen at night. Over time, lack of treatment can lead to decreased strength and function in the affected hand.
The median nerve can become irritated or compressed for many reasons. Repetitive hand motions, injury, swelling, and other factors may stress the nerves over time. When aggravated, the median nerve elicits symptoms like pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. Even simple, everyday tasks can become difficult due to median nerve dysfunction. People may struggle with grip their strength, motor skills, or overall hand function.
Common signs of CTS include:
