Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The median nerve provides feeling to the palm side of the thumb and to the index, middle, and part of the ring fingers. It also controls some small muscles at the base of the thumb.

Sometimes, thickening from the lining of irritated tendons or other swelling & inflammation can narrow the tunnel and cause the median nerve to be compressed. The result may be numbness, weakness, or sometimes pain in the hand and wrist, or occasionally in the forearm and arm. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common and widely known of the entrapment neuropathies.

Women are three times as prone to developing the condition as men.

​Loss Of Strength​

Sensation Of Pins & Needles In The Hand​
