Tunnel Syndrome Home Page \/ Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a progressive condition affecting the first three fingers of one or both hands. It manifests as pain, numbness, and weakness due to compression of the median nerve, which is located in the middle of the wrist and distributes to the first three fingers. Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Individuals with structurally narrow wrist canals are prone to developing clinical symptoms. It is more common in obese individuals, those who consume alcohol, those with diabetes, and those with vascular diseases. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by increased pressure within the canal. This pressure is related to the position of the hand. Mechanical factors in the workplace play a role in most cases. Frequent repetition of certain movements is associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Risk Factors: Carpenters and manual laborers, tennis players, those who frequently wash dishes with their hands, drivers, those who engage in repetitive wrist movements, during pregnancy (temporary condition), symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. Patients often wake up a few hours after falling asleep with a feeling of swelling, numbness, and tingling throughout the entire hand. The fingers are stiff, and the patient feels swollen and tight; however, no objective change is actually observed. Patients shake and rub their hands, often getting out of bed, and relief occurs shortly thereafter. Sometimes, numbness recurs multiple times in a single night, causing severe sleep disturbances. Hand numbness awakening from sleep at night, a feeling of swelling and tension in the hand, finger stiffness, spread of numbness to the forearm, shoulder, and neck, and increased symptoms after housework. Loss of strength in the later stages, wasting of the palm muscles. Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome: A definitive diagnosis can be made with an EMG test. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment: Conservative Treatment: In patients with severe sensory impairment and no motor impairment, nighttime rest wristbands that keep the wrist in a neutral position while allowing the fingers to move freely are very beneficial. Symptoms are relieved for a long time after hydrocortisone injection into the carpal tunnel. While low-dose oral cortisone therapy has been reported to yield good results, no further reports of the effects of this treatment have been provided. Surgical Treatment: Patients whose symptoms persist with medication should undergo surgery without further delay, meaning before nerve damage worsens. Relieving pressure on the nerve through surgery will prevent further damage. Surgical Features: No hospitalization required. Outpatient treatment is performed under local anesthesia. Pressure on the nerve is relieved.
