It’s caused by pressure on the median nerve in the wrist and is brought on by swelling of the transverse carpal ligament. DMC Huron Valley-Sinai HospitalDMC said the new treatment requires only a very small incision and uses ultrasound to find a pathway to the transverse ligament through the carpal tunnel. Carpal tunnel syndrome can be debilitating if left untreated.
