Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by a nerve at the wrist being pinched. Advice on hand use and adjusting activities that put strain on the wrist can help to minimise symptoms. It is not certain that exercises or mobilisation techniques will eliminate the cause.
Discuss any persistent tingling, loss of sensation or loss of strength with your GP. Depending on your symptoms, options may include, for example, a night splint, an injection or an operation. Read more about Carpal tunnel syndrome on Thuisarts.nl.
