Carpal tunnel syndrome

DESCRIPTION Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when tendons or ligaments in the wrist become enlarged, often from inflammation, after being aggravated. The narrowed tunnel of bones and ligaments in the wrist pinches the nerves that reach the fingers and the muscles at the base of the thumb. The first symptoms usually appear at night. Symptoms range from a burning, tingling numbness in the fingers, especially the thumb and the index and middle fingers, to difficulty gripping or making a fist, to dropping things. Some cases of carpal tunnel syndrome are due to work-related cumulative trauma of the wrist. Diseases or conditions that predispose to the development of carpal tunnel syndrome include pregnancy, diabetes, and obesity.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a fairly common condition that occurs when there is too much pressure on a nerve in the wrist. There is usually aching, numbness or tingling in the thumb, some of the fingers and sometimes part of the hand.

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects about 1 in 100 people at some point in their life. Men and women of any age can develop it, but it is most common in women in their 30s, 40s and 50s.

Sometimes carpal tunnel syndrome is triggered by a person's occupation, and can lead to the person being unable to work. Most cases of carpal tunnel syndrome can be prevented by stopping or reducing the activity that stresses the fingers, hand, or wrist, or by changing the way in which activities are done.

The carpal tunnel is a channel in the palm side of the wrist (see diagram, below). The bones of the wrist are arranged in a semi-circle, and a tough ligament (the carpal ligament) forms a roof over them, creating a passageway (the carpal tunnel). Running through the carpal tunnel are the tendons that we use to bend the fingers and wrist, and the median nerve. This is one of two nerves that allow feeling in the hand. The median nerve also controls some of the muscles that move the thumb.

There is little room for expansion in the tunnel, so any swelling of the tissue in or around the carpal tunnel can press on the median nerve and cause the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome may result from the tunnel walls being compressed, putting pressure on the nerve. Repeated wrist movements are often responsible for this. The movements may be related to a person's job or hobby, such as typing, knitting or using small tools. People who use vibrating tools are particularly at risk.

The condition is more likely to develop if the wrist has been injured, after it has been broken, for example. The carpal tunnel may also be compressed through rheumatoid arthritis, or in a condition where excess growth hormone is produced (called acromegaly).

Another cause of carpal tunnel syndrome can be pressure within the tunnel, often due to fluid retention as a result of kidney failure, an underactive thyroid or during pregnancy. It can be caused by changes to the median nerve itself, too, which may happen with conditions such as diabetes.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in people who are very overweight, in women who are pregnant or taking the contraceptive pill, and during the menopause. In some people, it develops for no apparent reason.

SYNONYMS CTS

SYMPTOMS Symptoms include aching, tingling, pins and needles, burning, numbness or pain in the hand and in the digits served by the median nerve ?the thumb, the index and middle fingers, and part of the ring finger (see diagram, above). In time, symptoms can spread to the arm and shoulder.

These symptoms tend to be worse at night or first thing in the morning and are often made worse by strenuous wrist movements.

Carpal tunnel syndrome can affect one or both hands, and the severity of the symptoms can vary. The symptoms may be mild or only occur from time to time. As the condition worsens, symptoms may become constant. The hand muscles may become weakened, making it difficult to grip objects, and there may be permanent loss of feeling. Fine finger movements, such as writing, may become more difficult.
