Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common nerve problem that happens when the median nerve in your wrist gets pinched. Many people with carpal tunnel wake up at night with tingling or numbness, which disrupts their sleep. This study is investigating whether the amount of nerve damage—as seen on ultrasound—is directly connected to how poorly patients sleep.
Doctors know that carpal tunnel syndrome often gets worse at night and causes sleep problems, but we don't yet understand exactly why this happens or how severe the nerve damage needs to be before sleep is affected. This research could help doctors predict which patients will have the worst sleep disruption and plan better treatments.

If you join this study, you will be compared to a group of healthy people without carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will use ultrasound to measure the degree of nerve compression in your wrist and ask you to complete questionnaires or surveys about your sleep quality. The study is designed to understand whether worse ultrasound findings predict worse sleep problems.
