Ep 156 – Carpal tunnel syndrome
Manage episode 482889654 series 3528644
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy, primarily affecting the median nerve at the level of the wrist. The condition results from compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, leading to sensory and motor impairments in the affected hand. There are a range of causes for the condition, and treatments range from simple conservative measures to surgery. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at how to recognise the condition, some of the clinical and diagnostic tests available, when to refer to secondary care and management options including both surgical and non-surgical measures.
