Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments

NUH doctor explains about the causes, symptoms & treatments of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in this short video. When pressure builds up in the carpal tunnel, the median nerve is squeezed and cannot function properly. Symptoms include tingling, numbness or pain like electricity or ants running into your fingers. First line of treatment includes avoiding repetitive motion, and changing the way you do things. Be mindful to keep wrist straight using wrist support or splint. The next line of treatment is steroid injection. If these treatments do not work, a patient may have to undergo carpal tunnel release surgery (animation about surgery is in the video) 00:00 - Introduction 00:18 - What is carpal tunnel syndrome? 00:29 - Symptoms 00:41 - Prevalence 00:49 - Treatment - Avoid repetitive motions 00:55 - Treatment - Wrist support/splint 01:14 - Treatment - Steroid injection 01:24 - Treatment - Carpal tunnel release surgery For an appointment with NUH, visit https://www.nuh.com.sg/patients-visit...
