Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist, causing:
- Numbness or tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
- Pain or burning sensation in the wrist and hand
- Weakness or clumsiness in the hand
- Tingling or shock-like sensations in the fingers
Causes:
- Repetitive motions or vibrations
- Fluid retention or swelling
- Wrist injuries or fractures
- Poor wrist or hand position
- Medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, arthritis)
Risk factors:
- Women
- Age 30-60
- Obesity
- Pregnancy
- Family history
Diagnosis:
- Medical history
- Physical examination
- Tinel's sign (tapping the wrist)
- Phalen's test (wrist flexion)
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Nerve conduction studies (NCS)
Treatment:
- Wrist splints or braces
- Physical therapy
- Pain relief medications
- Corticosteroid injections
- Surgery (in severe cases)
Prevention:
- Take regular breaks
- Stretch and exercise
- Maintain proper posture
- Use ergonomic equipment
- Manage underlying medical conditions
Note: If you're experiencing symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist, causing:
