Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Definition:
'Carpal tunnel syndrome' ('CTS') is a median nerve entrapment neuropathy, that causes paresthesia, pain, numbness, and other symptoms in the distribution of the median nerve due to its compression at the wrist in the carpal tunnel. The pathophysiology is not completely understood but can be considered compression of the median nerve traveling through the carpal tunnel.
