CTS, or Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, is a condition that occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes compressed at the wrist. This compression can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. It is often associated with repetitive hand movements, such as typing or using a mouse. Treatment for CTS may include rest, splinting, physical therapy, or in more severe cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the median nerve. Early diagnosis and intervention can help prevent long-term damage and improve hand function.
