In fact, in the U.S. alone, it is the fastest growing job-related malady among workers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, average number of days away from work were highest for people with CTS (average missed work days: 27) compared to all other major job-related trauma and sickness.

This syndrome is typically characterized by nocturnal hand discomfort, finger paresthesias in the median nerve distribution and thenar muscle atrophy. This condition is most frequently caused by compression of the medial nerve in the carpal tunnel. This disorder occurs most often between the ages of 30 and 60 and is 2 to 5 times more common in women than men. The dominant hand is affected frequently; however, 32 to 50% of cases occur bilaterally.
