Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve in the wrist/hand is compressed, leading to numbness, tingling, and pain. Home care involves reducing hand/wrist stress, using a wrist splint, and incorporating anti-oxidant-rich foods. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention to prevent permanent damage. Specific exercises can help alleviate mild to moderate symptoms.
