Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy and a frequent indication for hand surgery. Symptoms range from intermittent nocturnal paraesthesia to persistent sensory loss and thenar muscle weakness, often with functional impact and socioeconomic burden. Diagnosis is clinical, supported by neurophysiological exams. Mild CTS is usually managed conservatively, while surgical decompression provides the most effective and durable relief in moderate to severe cases. This review finds variation in diagnostic and treatment pathways highlighting the need for standardised care.
