Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a condition that occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed as it passes through a narrow passage called the carpal tunnel in the wrist. The median nerve provides sensation to the thumb, index, middle, and part of the ring fingers, and also controls some of the muscles in the hand. This syndrome is commonly characterized by numbness, pain, and weakness in the hand and wrist.<\/p>\n
