Carpal tunnel syndrome, or CTS, is a condition caused by the compression of the median nerve as it passes through the narrow carpal tunnel in the wrist. This pressure on the nerve often results from repetitive hand and wrist movements, injury, or inflammation, leading to symptoms such as tingling, numbness, weakness, and pain in the hand and fingers. Over time, these symptoms may worsen, making it difficult to perform everyday tasks like typing, gripping objects, or even holding a pen. People at a higher risk of developing CTS include those with jobs or hobbies that involve repetitive hand motions, such as office workers, assembly line employees, or musicians. Other contributing factors may include diabetes, obesity, or arthritis.
