What is the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the most common nerve compression in the upper extremity, is a nerve compression syndrome caused by increased pressure and inflammation to the median nerve at the wrist. Basically, the median nerve becomes pinched at the wrist. There is a narrow space in the wrist called the carpal tunnel where the median nerve and nine tendons pass from the forearm to the hand. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome happens when pressure in the tunnel builds up and compresses the nerve.
