Causes include repetitive hand movements and conditions like diabetes. Symptoms often start as tingling and weakness, diagnosed through physical exams and nerve tests.

Treatment includes wrist splints and activity modifications, with recovery varying from weeks to months. Rehabilitation focuses on strengthening the wrist.
