Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the hand and wrist, causing pain, numbness, and tingling sensations. It occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes compressed or irritated as it passes through the carpal tunnel—a narrow passageway in the wrist. Understanding the causes, symptoms, and treatment options for CTS is essential for managing this condition effectively and improving hand function.

Causes:

Several factors can contribute to the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, including:

  • Repetitive hand and wrist movements, such as typing, using a computer mouse, or assembly line work, which can lead to inflammation and swelling of the tissues surrounding the median nerve.
  • Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or thyroid disorders, which can increase the risk of nerve compression.
  • Anatomical factors, such as a narrow carpal tunnel or a wrist injury, which can predispose individuals to develop CTS.
  • Hormonal changes, such as those occurring during pregnancy or menopause, which can lead to fluid retention and increased pressure on the median nerve.

Symptoms:

The symptoms of CTS typically develop gradually and may include:

  • Numbness, tingling, or burning sensations in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers, particularly at night or upon waking.
  • Weakness or clumsiness in the hand, making it difficult to grasp objects or perform fine motor tasks.
  • Pain or discomfort in the wrist, palm, or forearm, which may radiate up the arm.
  • Decreased sensitivity to touch or temperature changes in the affected fingers.
