Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Hyderabad: Advanced Care at Lux Hospitals
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a simple-onset disease that causes numb, tingling and uncomfortable sensation in the hand and wrist. It happens when the carpal tunnel, an unobstructed passageway in the wrist, compresses the median nerve, which regulates sensation and movement of the hand. The disease can worsen and disrupt activities of daily living if not treated. We offer specialized carpal tunnel syndrome treatment at Lux Hospitals Hyderabad with personalized attention to cure symptoms and improve your lifestyle.
What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Median nerve is being squeezed in the carpal tunnel of the wrist by carpal tunnel syndrome. Median nerve and tendons are contained in the carpal tunnel, which is a narrow tube in bones and ligaments. Tendons that are large or swollen can compress the median nerve and result in numbness, tingling, and weakness of the hand and fingers.
Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
A variety of factors can lead to the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome, such as:
- Repetitive wrist motion: Jobs that need a lot of wrist movement, such typing, working on an assembly line, or playing an instrument.
- Pregnancy: Pregnancy-related hormonal changes can cause carpal tunnel syndrome and fluid retention.
- Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory forms of arthritis can cause the carpal tunnel to enlarge and narrow.
- Trauma or injury: History of previous injury to the wrist can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Genetic factors: Some people are susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome because they were born with a smaller carpal tunnel.
Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome can cause minor to severe symptoms. Typical signs and symptoms include:
- Tingling or numbness: particularly at night, in the thumb, index, and middle fingers.
- Pain: The wrist, forearm, and even shoulder may all experience pain.
- Weakness: Loss of grip strength or difficulty holding objects.
- Swelling: In some cases, swelling in the wrist can accompany the pain and discomfort.
Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Our specialists at Lux Hospitals will conduct a thorough physical examination to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. We may also perform specific tests such as:
- Phalen’s test involves bending the wrist forward to check for any numbness or tingling in the fingers.
- Tinel’s sign: This examination entails a tapping on the median nerve of the wrist in search of signs of pain or tingling.
- Electromyography (EMG): This test quantifies muscle electrical activity to check whether the median nerve is compressed.
- Nerve conduction study: This test evaluates how well electrical impulses travel along the nerve, helping to assess the severity of the condition.
Treatment Options for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
We deal with carpal tunnel syndrome at Lux Hospitals in many ways depending on the level of severity of the syndrome. Our experts provide personalized consultation and treatment to every patient to design the most suitable treatment plan.
Non-Surgical Treatments
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Medication: Early therapy with medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will eliminate the inflammation and the pain.
- Wrist Splints: Splinting the wrists at night can relieve pressure from the median nerve and symptoms.
- Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections may reduce swelling and inflammation in the carpal tunnel, relieving symptoms.
- Physical Therapy: Wrist exercises to strengthen and stretch can restore wrist function and relieve symptoms.
- Lifestyle Changes: To avoid the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome, avoid repetitive motions, constant breaks, and ergonomic changes in your workplace.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery
If conservative management is not alleviating, surgery can be indicated. There are two main forms of surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome:
- Open Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery: This is an outdated technique consisting of performing the minimum incision along the wrist to sever the ligament compressing the median nerve. It is carried out under local anesthesia.
- Endoscopic Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery: A less invasive procedure with small cuts and a camera to help the surgeon cut the ligament. It involves quicker recovery and less scarring.
Who is eligible for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome treatment?
You can be treated for carpal tunnel syndrome if you have:
- Persistent pain, numbness, or tingling in the wrist or hand.
- Symptoms that disrupt your daily routine or job.
- Weakness or loss of grip strength.
- Inability to perform tasks like typing or holding objects for long periods.
