“…The duration of employment in the sector or field also becomes a significant factor in CTS incidence, as indicated by (Subandi S, et al, 2020), showing a moderate positive correlation between the duration of employment and nerve injury (r=0.559; p=0.013). The longer the working period for employees or their work experience in the sector, the higher the incidence of CTS.…”

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common condition involving median nerve compression, causing pain, tingling, and numbness in the hand. Studies reveal varying prevalence across demographics, impacting the quality of life. CTS reports a 3.6% prevalence, emphasizing age and gender disparities. CTS makes an impact on daily functioning, and multifactorial etiology, encompassing anatomy, health, and lifestyle. Occupational factors underscore higher risks in certain professions. Early identification is crucial for timely intervention. This review consolidates recent research, aiming to inform targeted prevention and management strategies for CTS. This study utilizes a literature review method, collecting data from databases such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, ResearchGate, Google, and Google Scholar, using keywords like "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome," "Workers," "Risk Factor," "Physical Activity," and "Occupational." Inclusion criteria consider articles published from 2019 to 2023. The data will be analyzed to conclude. The result from fifteen articles reveals significant risk factors associated with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), including long work duration, specific job sectors, repetitive hand movements, unusual hand postures, vibration exposure, and a history of CTS. Certain occupations, such as batik workers, meatball tofu makers, and marble industry workers, show correlations with CTS. Addressing these risk factors through protective measures and effective workplace management is crucial for reducing CTS incidence.

“…Women are 3.6 times more likely to have the condition than men (Hamid et al, 2020). Every year, the high incidence rate increases the pathology-related factors that drive up healthcare and socioeconomic expenses (Erickson et al, 2022;Subandi et al, 2020;Zhuang et al, 2020).…”

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome has a great impact on the pregnant woman's daily life. Several nonpharmacological techniques have been used to alleviate these symptoms. Aim: The present study aimed to examine the effect of nursing instructional program on neurophysiologic parameters of carpal tunnel syndrome among pregnant women. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was adopted. A convenient sample of 100 pregnant women with carpal tunnel syndrome was enrolled. This study was carried out at the obstetric and gynecological outpatient clinic of Kafrelsheikh general hospital, Kafrelsheikh governorate, Egypt. Three tools were used to collect data: A structured interviewing Questionnaire, Numeric Pain Rating Scale, and Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire. Results: The mean wrist pain scores at baseline assessment didn't show a significant difference between the control and intervention groups (p>0.05). However, postintervention, the difference in mean wrist pain scores between the two groups was highly statistically significant (p<0.001). When comparing the symptom severity scale and functional status scale between the two groups, the differences weren't statistically significant at baseline assessment (p>0.05). Post-intervention, the difference in symptom severity scale was highly statistically significant (p<0.001) between both groups while the functional status scale did not show a significant difference (p>0.05). Conclusion: The nursing instructional program was successful in improving the neurophysiologic parameters of carpal tunnel syndrome among pregnant women. Recommendation: Applying such nursing instructional program should be enforced to decrease suffering among pregnant women with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition when median nerve, located in the carpal tunnel, is being suppressed by the surrounding structure. In 1854, the first clinical narration of median nerve compression in a carpal tunnel was found. CTS causes pain, tingling, and weakness in the half ring finger, middle finger, index finger, and thumb. These complaints lead the patients to seek medical help by a visiting doctor. CTS has become the major cause of upper extremity chronic neuropathic pain. CTS affects women 3.6 times more than men. This would cause high costs in medical treatment, rehabilitation, work hours lost compensation, initial pension costs, and new worker training. This makes CTS as a major problem in the field of employment. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs as a result of chronic repetitive forceful work and other risk factors such as sex, age, heredity, hormonal, and weight. Knowledge of the diagnosis and comprehensive management of CTS are important to the doctor. Recent management based on the newest guidelines are important for clinician knowledge update. Correct diagnosis will lead to appropriate management based on recent CTS guidelines, which in turn will improve the quality of life for patients with CTS. This article will comprehensively discuss the diagnosis and recent management.
