Carpal tunnel syndrome neurodecompression

Carpal tunnel syndrome, also known as late-onset median nerve palsy, is a kind of "cumulative trauma disorder". It occurs in women in the office between the ages of 30 and 50. It means that the median nerve of the human body enters the meridians of the palm and receives Symptoms of forefinger, middle finger pain, numbness and weakness of thumb muscles after compression. The carpal tunnel is a bony fibrous tube with a scaphoid and mostly angular bones on the radial side; pea bones and hooked bones on the ulnar side; skull, scaphoid and small polygonal bones on the dorsal side; transverse carpal ligaments on the palm side . In the carpal tunnel there are long flexor hallucis tendons, superficial flexor tendons, deep flexor tendons and median nerve. Any cause of squeezing or reducing carpal tunnel volume can compress the median nerve and cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Coles fracture deformity healing, prelunar dislocation, soft tissue edema caused by infection or trauma, thickened transverse carpal ligament, tendon sheath cyst, lipoma, xanthomas, some systemic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, thyroid dysfunction, amyloidosis Reynaud disease can sometimes be associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. In the early stage of the lesion, the edema and congestion of the median nerve appeared, and fibrosis in the nerve was gradually caused due to compressive ischemia. The axon compression and the disappearance of the myelin sheath, finally the nerve tissue became fibrous tissue, and its inner tube Disappeared and replaced by collagen tissue, becoming an irreversible change. The reason why this disease has quickly become an increasingly common disease of modern civilization is that the lifestyle of modern people has changed dramatically, and more and more people are in contact with and use computers for a long time every day. The main cause is that the computer users, such as Internet users, contact the computer for a long time every day, repeatedly typing on the keyboard and moving the mouse. The wrist joints gradually develop paralysis and pain in the wrist joint due to long-term intensive, repetitive and excessive activities. Ignoring this condition for a long time can cause nerve damage and hand muscle atrophy.
