    Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by narrowing of the carpal tunnel in the wrist, compressing the median nerve and causing symptoms. Symptoms include weakness, pain, numbness, tingling or burning in the hands, fingers, wrists, especially in the thumb, index and middle fingers. Symptoms are often worse at night and can interrupt sleep. Carpal tunnel syndrome is commonly caused by repetitive hand and wrist motions from activities like typing, using tools, sports or jobs that involve grasping. It can also be caused by medical conditions affecting the wrist like arthritis, hormonal changes, diabetes or injuries. Doctors can detect it using tests like Phalen's maneuver or Tinel's sign that provoke symptoms. Prevention
