Carpal tunnel syndrome results from damage to the median nerve at the wrist, and is associated with a range of symptoms, including pain and numbness in the hand. In this review, the authors describe the clinical criteria that are used by clinicians to reach a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, and discuss how the diagnosis can be supported by ancillary tests, such as nerve conduction studies and imaging.
