Carpal tunnel syndrome affects over 8 million people in the United States; women are affected three times more often than men. The chronic pain from carpal tunnel syndrome can cause difficulties sleeping, as well as with doing your every day activities.
If medications and bracing doesn’t help, surgery may be the next step in helping manage carpal tunnel syndrome. Traditionally, this meant a 3 cm incision in the wrist - but a new surgery, the MIRZA endoscopic technique, uses a smaller incision, 1.5 cm and it’s in the palm of the hand instead of the wrist.
