Compression of the median nerve, which runs to the hand through the wrist. CTS is often used as a catch-all term to erroneously describe other repetitive stress injuries.

A condition associated with swelling and weight gain during pregnancy. The nerves in the wrist become compressed resulting in a tingling, burning or numbness in the hands. It usually goes away after delivery.

(CTS) is a type of compression neuropathy caused by compression and irritation of the median nerve in the wrist. The nerve is compressed within the carpal tunnel, a bony canal in the palm side of the wrist that provides passage for the median nerve to the hand.

A form of repetitive strain injury to the wrist and hand. Making the same small motions over and over can cause swelling and scarring of the soft tissue of the wrist, which then compresses the main nerve leading to the hand. Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome include pain and tingling in the fingers, and in advanced cases, carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to loss of functionality of the hands. Typing at a computer keyboard without proper wrist support is a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome. Acronym: CTS.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, or CTS, is an overuse phenomenon and a common form of repetitive strain injury. The 'Carpal Tunnel' refers to a gap in the wrist bones through which muscles, blood vessels and nerves pass on their way to the hand from the forearm. This anatomical space is very limited to start with and the problem of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome arises when there is swelling within this small space.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a disorder in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist causing symptoms like tingling, pain, coldness, and sometimes weakness in parts of the hand. It is the best known of all repetitive strain injuries, and is often as a blanket term for many specific RSI conditions. See article: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Injury of the carpal tunnel, a nerve pathway in the wrist, that is sometimes caused by long hours of typing. The primary symptoms are numbness, tingling, and pain in the fingers caused by pressure on the main nerve to the hand. Stretching exercises, massage therapy, or medication will help mild cases; if the condition is severe, it may require surgery. To prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, typists can use a padded wrist support, take breaks and stretch the hands from time to time.

interface: An occupational disease caused by doing the same movements with your hands over and over. The symptoms include shooting pains, tingling, or numbness in the wrist, hand or finger joints. Prevention is the best way to deal with this: keep your wrists straight while you type and/or use wrist rests, lower the keyboard, vary your tasks, take breaks, sit up straight. CTS can be permanently disabling, so if you suspect anything, see your doctor now. In extreme cases, surgery may be necessary, in lesser ones, the lifelong wearing of a wrist brace.

This is caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes from the forearm into the hand within the firm walled carpal tunnel. The pressure produces a tingling, numbness or discomfort in the radial fingers (outer three and a half digits) and there is a feeling of clumsiness in carrying out fine movements such as those involved in sewing. The symptoms and signs vary with the degree and duration of the compression of the median nerve. It is thought that repeated flexion and extension at the wrist - as is common in various work related activities - can cause fluid to accumulate and put pressure on the median nerve causing the typical carpal tunnel syndrome. There are however, other causes of neurological disturbances in the hand including those arising in the neck, from interference with the brachial plexus, and lesions of the median nerve elsewhere in its anatomical course. Such diseases as muscular dystrophy and syringomyelia may also cause similar neurological disturbance.

A common, painful defect of the wrist and hand. It is caused by pressure on the middle nerve in the carpal tunnel. The syndrome is seen more often in women, especially in pregnant and in menopausal women. Symptoms may result from a blow, swelling, a tumor, rheumatoid arthritis, or a small carpal tunnel that squeezes the nerve. Pain may be infrequent or constant and is often most intense at night.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition in which the is compressed at the wrist, leading to pain, paresthesias, and muscle weakness in the forearm and hand. A form of peripheral neuropathy, CTS is more common in women than it is in men, and, though it can occur at any age, has a peak incidence around age 50. The lifetime risk for CTS is around 10% of the adult population.
