Abstract

The most common form of neuropathy disease is carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The anatomical and pathophysiological characteristics of CTS were studied, and several parameters were determined. In pathophysiology, its role is very important. Progress of CTS biology research makes possible the emergence of effective diagnostic techniques (such as irritation tests and nerve-related studies) complex technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasonography (US) diagnosis of CTS. This article summarizes the relevant medical literature of CTS in terms of symptoms, pathophysiology and various strategies of clinical diagnosis treatment. Comparison of various diagnosis methods with their advantages and disadvantages is presented. Finally, it reveals that conservatives compare surgical methods. Although the surgical method has been proven compared with the conservative steroid injection and splinting methods, this method is more effective. Many studies prove the advantages and disadvantages of the surgical method and complications. All medical aspects of CTS to update medicine professionals and understanding of this disease are comprehensively summarized in this article.
