It stems from the compression of the median nerve as it travels through the narrow carpal tunnel of the wrist. Key risk factors include repetitive hand use, arm vibration, pregnancy, and health conditions like diabetes. Initial symptoms often begin subtly, such as tingling or numbness in the thumb and first three fingers, especially while sleeping. Diagnosis is confirmed through physical examinations, and tests like electromyography or nerve conduction studies are used for precise diagnosis. Implications and Detailed Insights Beyond pain and numbness, untreated carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to permanent nerve damage and deterioration of fine motor skills, impacting daily activities such as typing or gripping objects. This can especially affect individuals in occupations requiring frequent hand movements, such as ty...
