Compression of the median nerve in the crowded carpal tunnel is common and frequently incapacitating. Its causes and associated clinical conditions are multiple. Diagnosis is made by the typical history, three frequently positive physical signs at the wrist, and, if necessary by median nerve conduction velocity impairment. Most patients can be managed medically; when surgery is required it can be done usually without general anesthesia on an outpatient basis with gratifying results.
在拥挤的腕管中，正中神经受压很常见，且常常使人丧失能力。其病因和相关临床情况多种多样。诊断依据典型病史、腕部三个常呈阳性的体征，必要时依据正中神经传导速度受损情况来做出。大多数患者可通过药物治疗；如需手术，通常可在门诊不进行全身麻醉的情况下完成，效果令人满意。
