What are the Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Any type of irritation or swelling in tissues that disturbs the size of the carpal tunnel which puts pressure on the median nerve causing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The following could also be considered as the risk factors for CTS-
- Smaller Carpal Tunnel- The smaller carpal tunnel is common in females. This may be a result of genetic anatomic differences or wrist injuries in some people.
- Wrist injuries- The pressure put on the median nerve because of wrist fractures, dislocations, strains and arthritis results in carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Hypothyroidism- It is a condition in which enough thyroid hormones are not produced from the thyroid gland. This causes fluid retention which results in swollen and thickened tendons.
- Repetitive hand or wrist movements- Repetitive hand or wrist movements due to lifestyle may become a cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The people working as typewriters, data enters,
● Other medical conditions- Apart from the above listed causes there are some medical conditions such as pregnancy, obesity and diabetes which increase the risk of CTS in people having these issues.
What are the treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome may vary based on the severity of symptoms. This syndrome could be treated using conservative methods or surgical methods depending on the intensity of symptoms. Conservative Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome If the symptoms are mild and recognized early by your doctor, the following methods will be recommended for treatment.
- Bracing/ splints- using a brace or volar splint at night will restrict the movement of your wrist but allows free movement of your fingers when properly tied. This might help even without a treatment.
- Non- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)- Your doctor may recommend some NSAIDs like Naproxen, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen and others to release pain but these are not proven to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Physiotherapy- a physiotherapist will assist in performing exercises such as Tendon gliding, wrist circles, finger bend, pronation and others to treat the syndrome. These sessions last up to 4 to 6 weeks.
- Activity Changes- It is recommended to decrease the activity of your wrist and exercises will be provided for faster recovery of carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Steroidal Injections- a local steroid injection called corticosteroid will be injected in the median nerve and reduce the swelling in tissues. One injection will be enough and the results will be seen in 2-7 days.
Procedure for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Release Surgery
In some cases when conservative methods cannot treat the carpal syndrome or the patients experience severe symptoms CTS release surgery will be recommended by the doctor. The surgical procedure for Carpal tunnel Syndrome is as follows-
There are two types of surgeries-
- Open Carpal Tunnel release- during this surgery, a small incision is made on your palm to view the inside of your hand and wrist. The doctor then divides the transverse carpal ligament to increase the space for the carpal tunnel and reduce the pressure on the median nerve. The incision will then be closed through stitches. This ligament will grow back in a way that creates space for the carpal tunnel and relieves the median nerve.
● Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel release- It is a minimally invasive method in which a small incision is made by the doctor on the wrist and a thin tube called endoscope is passed through this cut. The endoscope contains a camera using which the transverse carpal ligament is divided, the rest is the same as open carpal tunnel surgery.
