Swelling may cause the tunnel walls to constrict and press on your median nerve. The compressed median nerve may become irritated, resulting in painful sensations felt in your hand, wrist or arm.

A retrospective chart review was undertaken to determine the incidence of transient neuropraxia of the median nerve following double portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is when the median nerve in the wrist is compressed by excess pressure in a tunnel of bone and connective tissue.

Home remedies are all about removing pressure on your median nerve and reducing the swelling in the carpal tunnel (so ice packs help, too!). If your pain or symptoms become severe, you may opt for ...

Meadoff 7 has shown, by injecting Lipiodol into the median-nerve sheath, that the contrast medium flows easily through the carpal tunnel into the palm on wrist extension, but stops abruptly at the ...

Carpal tunnel braces are designed to keep your wrist in a neutral position. Immobilization is important because wrist flexion puts pressure on the median nerve; bracing prevents that.
