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 fingers and hand, particularly in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. The syndrome is often associated with repetitive hand movements, such as typing or using a mouse, and can also be influenced by factors like wrist anatomy, pregnancy, and certain medical conditions. Treatment options include wrist splints, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve.
