What Is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common nerve compression disorder caused by pressure on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel — a narrow passageway in the wrist bounded by bones and ligaments. It causes pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and wrist, particularly affecting the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers.

CTS is common among people who perform repetitive wrist movements, use vibrating tools, or have conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, pregnancy, or rheumatoid arthritis. SurgiKure performs endoscopic carpal tunnel release — a minimally invasive procedure through a tiny wrist incision, with significantly less post-operative pain and faster return to hand use than open surgery.

Common Symptoms

Tingling or numbness in the thumb, index, and middle fingersBurning or aching pain in the wrist, hand, and forearmHand weakness — tendency to drop objectsSymptoms that are worse at night or first thing in the morningTemporary relief by shaking or flicking the handReduced grip strength and fine motor difficultySensation that the fingers are swollen even when they are not

Types & Grades

Mild CTS

Intermittent tingling and numbness, mostly at night. Managed with night wrist splints and anti-inflammatory medications. No nerve damage yet.

Moderate CTS

Frequent numbness, daytime symptoms, and some weakness. Corticosteroid injection may provide temporary relief. Endoscopic release is recommended.

Severe CTS

Constant numbness, marked hand weakness, and muscle wasting at the base of the thumb (thenar atrophy). Urgent surgical release required to prevent permanent nerve damage.

Carpal Tunnel Treatment Options

1

Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release

Minimally invasive gold standard. A tiny camera guides the precise division of the transverse carpal ligament through a small wrist incision. Less post-operative pain, smaller scar, and faster return to hand activities than open release.

2

Open Carpal Tunnel Release

The carpal ligament is divided under direct vision through a small palm incision under local anaesthesia. Highly effective — 95%+ success rate. Slightly longer recovery than endoscopic approach.

3

Corticosteroid Injection

A steroid injection into the carpal tunnel reduces inflammation and provides temporary symptom relief. Useful for mild-moderate CTS or as a bridge to surgery. Symptoms typically return within 6-12 months.

4

Wrist Splinting & Physiotherapy

Night wrist splints keep the wrist in a neutral position, reducing nerve pressure during sleep. Combined with physiotherapy, effective for mild CTS and pregnancy-related CTS.
