Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), also known as median neuritis, is a painful condition of the hands and wrists. It is caused by pressure on the median nerve, which runs from the shoulder down the arm to the hand. In advanced cases, carpal tunnel syndrome can make the simplest chore or activity impossible, such as holding a frying pan, folding laundry, or lifting an infant.
