Carpal tunnel
syndrome (CTS) is
an entrapment median neuropathy, causing pain, numbness, and other symptoms in
the distribution of the median nerve due to its compression at the wrist in the
carpal tunnel. It appears to be caused by a combination of genetic and
environmental factors. Some of the predisposing factors include: diabetes, obesity,
pregnancy, hypothyroidism, and heavy manual work or work with vibrating tools
but not lighter work even if repetitive.
