ABOUT THIS CONDITION
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is one of the most common nerve compression disorders, where the median nerve gets compressed at the wrist within the carpal tunnel. It causes numbness, tingling, burning pain and weakness in the thumb, index, middle and half of the ring finger, often worse at night.
