Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the topic of a recent Ohio State Health & Discovery article. This common hand condition can cause symptoms of numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain. Sometimes referred to as a pinched nerve, this condition occurs when the median nerve – one of the major nerves in the hand – is compressed as it travels through the small space in your wrist called the carpal tunnel. Learn more about carpal tunnel, including surgical treatment of it, here.
