However, when these tendons become swollen, they can apply pressure on the median nerve. This often leads to symptoms like <strong>decreased sensitivity,<\/strong> <strong>weakness,<\/strong> <strong>tingling,<\/strong> or <strong>pain<\/strong> in the fingers and the entire hand. Whether it is truly carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) needs to be confirmed by a doctor through an examination. <mark class=\"has-inline-color has-orange-color\" style=\"background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The most common causes of carpal tunnel syndrome include<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several factors can lead to tendon swelling and pressure on the median nerve.

If possible, take breaks and regularly switch hands.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stretching:<\/strong> Regularly stretch your wrists and fingers during work.
