Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the wrist, often due to repetitive wrist motions. It causes numbness, tingling, and pain in the hand and fingers. Treatment options include splinting, medications, injections, and surgery. While most patients' symptoms improve with treatment, complete recovery can take up to a year, and carpal tunnel syndrome may occasionally recur, requiring additional surgery. Studies have found nonsurgical treatments including exercises can successfully treat around 67% of mild to moderate cases without surgery.
