Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Experiencing tingling and numbness in your hand, especially at night? Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when a nerve in the wrist is compressed – a condition often treatable with conservative methods.

Overview

What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal tunnel syndrome involves compression of the median nerve (Nervus medianus) within the narrow carpal tunnel at the wrist. This leads to tingling, numbness, and weakness in parts of the hand. In early and moderate stages, it can often be treated conservatively.

Typical Symptoms

Tingling and numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers, often at night or in the morning. Later, loss of strength and a feeling of clumsiness in the hands may occur. Shaking out the hand often provides temporary relief.

Possible Causes

Narrowing of the carpal tunnel due to overuse, swelling, or unfavorable wrist posture. Hormonal factors, pregnancy, and certain medical conditions can also contribute.
