A peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome characterized by soreness, weakness, tingling, numbness, or burning along the thumb and first two fingers, caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. The condition may develop or worsen by repeated motion (grasping, twisting, or turning of the hand and wrist, repetitive flexion of the fingers as in typing, etc.). It should be noted that swelling of the nearby tendons which run through the carpal tunnel, not necessarily inflammation of the median nerve itself, may account for the compression of the nerve and the consequent neuropathic symptoms. For this reason, treatments to address repetitive motion injury of the tendons may be indicated beyond direct nerve support. Fluid imbalances, often in association with pregnancy or menopause, may also contribute to median nerve compression, and so treatment with diuretics may be of benefit in those cases.

Nutritionals

Additional Considerations
Surgery does not always offer relief. Repetitive motion aggravates carpal tunnel syndrome; therefore, if possible, vary the wrist and hand motion. Special exercises may help. A diet high in the B vitamins fortifies and strengthens the nervous system.
