A small passage within the hand bones that is present on the side of the wrist that is closer to the palms is called the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel has a nerve that is called as the median nerve. This median nerve is responsible for the sensation in the thumb finger, middle and index fingers. This nerve gets pinched and results in Carpal Tunnel syndrome which leads to numbness, tingling sensation and pain in the palm of the hands.
Carpal tunnel syndrome can be caused by repetitive movements of the wrist or wrong placement of the wrist that puts excessive pressure on this area. As for the treatment, initially wrist immobilization is done at night times to reduce pressure of the carpal tunnel. Prescription medications can be given such as anti inflammatory drugs or corticosteroids. In severe cases surgery is performed that removed the ligament compressing the nerve involved.
