Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common nerve compression disorder that occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist. It can cause pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the hand, making everyday tasks such as writing, typing, driving, or holding objects difficult.
