Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when pressure increases on the median nerve in the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, pain, and impaired hand function. Treatment may involve splinting and medications, or surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve if conservative measures fail.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when pressure increases on the median nerve in the wrist, causing numbness, tingling, pain, and impaired hand function.
- Treatment may involve splinting and medications, or surgery to relieve pressure on the nerve if conservative measures fail.
- Increased pressure in the carpal tunnel can result from conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, injuries, pregnancy-related fluid retention, or repetitive movements.
- After surgery, a dressing and splint are used to restrict movement and support the healing process.
- Surgical outcomes depend on the duration of the condition and the extent of nerve damage, making early treatment important for the best results.
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
The carpal tunnel is a tunnel in the wrist through which tendons and the median nerve, one of the main nerves of the hand, pass. Pressure within the tunnel can increase due to various diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis), injuries, fluid retention during pregnancy, overuse, or repetitive movements. This increased pressure on the nerve within the tunnel often causes a tingling sensation accompanied by numbness, pain, and impaired hand function. The condition resulting from these symptoms is called “Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.”
How is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treated?
In some cases, treatment involves splinting the hand and using anti-inflammatory medications (cortisone, aspirin, and ibuprofen) to resolve the problem. However, if these are ineffective, surgery may be necessary. In carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, an incision is made from the middle of the palm down to the wrist, and then the tissues pressing on the nerve are cut.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Frequently Asked Questions
The most frequently asked questions about aesthetic procedures before, during, and after.
What are the costs of treatment and surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome?
It is very difficult to give a precise price for carpal tunnel syndrome treatment initially. A pre-operative examination by a specialist doctor will determine the cost of carpal tunnel syndrome treatment.
You can obtain information and schedule an appointment by calling +90 212 257 1515 or +90 541 334 3484, or by contacting patient advisors via live support to inquire about carpal tunnel syndrome treatment costs and payment methods.
Note: It is prohibited for aesthetic clinics and centers approved by the Ministry of Health to list prices for carpal tunnel syndrome treatments and surgeries on their websites. Clinics that fail to comply with this legal procedure will face penalties.
What should you know after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery?
After carpal tunnel syndrome surgery, movement is restricted by applying a dressing and using a splint, thus accelerating the patient’s recovery process. It is forbidden to perform certain procedures; aesthetic clinics that do not comply with this legal procedure are subject to penalties.
Will there be scarring after carpal tunnel syndrome surgery?
The surgical scar resulting from carpal tunnel syndrome surgery will fade over time and become barely visible.
What are the outcomes of carpal tunnel syndrome surgery?
The outcomes of carpal tunnel syndrome surgery vary depending on how long the patient has had the problem and how much nerve damage has occurred. Therefore, early treatment yields more successful results.
