Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), is a medical condition in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist, leading to paresthesia, numbness, and muscle weakness in the hand.
Many people who have carpal tunnel syndrome have gradually increasing symptoms over time. The first symptom of CTS may appear when sleeping, and typically include numbness and paresthesia (a burning and tingling sensation) in the thumb, index and middle fingers, although some patients may experience symptoms in the palm as well. These symptoms appear at night because people tend to bend their wrists when they sleep, which further compresses the carpal tunnel. Patients may note that they “drop things”.
In early stages of CTS, individuals often mistakenly blame the tingling and numbness on restricted blood circulation. They may also be at ease and accepting of the symptoms and believe their hands are “falling asleep”. In chronic cases there may be wasting of muscles, and difficulty bringing the thumb away from the hand
