Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Saudi Arabia

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a medical condition that arises from compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. This narrow passageway is bounded by bones and ligaments, and when the tissues surrounding the carpal tunnel become swollen, they compress the median nerve. This compression can result from various factors, including repetitive hand movements, wrist anatomy, or underlying health conditions like diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome typically develop gradually. Common signs include numbness, tingling, or a burning sensation in the thumb, index, and middle fingers. This discomfort often extends to the hand and wrist and sometimes to the forearm. Many people experience these sensations especially at night, which can disrupt sleep. Additionally, individuals may notice weakness in their hand, making it difficult to grasp objects or perform tasks that require fine motor skills.

Treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome varies based on the severity of symptoms. Initial management often involves non-surgical approaches such as wrist splinting, particularly at night to maintain a neutral position, and avoiding activities that exacerbate symptoms. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may provide temporary relief. In cases where conservative treatments are ineffective, a corticosteroid injection can help reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms. If the condition persists or worsens, surgical intervention might be necessary. Carpal tunnel release surgery aims to relieve pressure on the median nerve by cutting the ligament that forms the roof of the tunnel. Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential for an accurate diagnosis and to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
