Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused when the median nerve of the hand is pinched, pressed, or compressed by the ligaments of the hand or wrist. Once you have been diagnosed, treatment options can be discussed and implemented. Usually, rest and the use of a brace are recommended initially. If symptoms persist, other treatment options may be considered.

Symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome
