CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME
CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs through the wrist, becomes compressed within a narrow passage called the carpal tunnel.
This compression may occur due to repetitive hand movements, wrist strain, or swelling of surrounding tissues.
The condition is commonly seen in individuals who perform repetitive hand activities such as typing, writing, or using handheld tools. If untreated, nerve compression may gradually lead to weakness and loss of hand function.
Common Symptoms Patients May Notice
- Numbness in the fingers
- Tingling sensation in the hand
- Weak grip strength
- Pain in the wrist or hand
- Symptoms worsening at night
