Carpal tunnel syndrome happens when a nerve in your wrist gets squeezed, causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in your hand. This study looks at how ultrasound pictures of your nerve relate to how much feeling you've lost in your fingertips. The researchers want to understand whether what they see on the ultrasound can tell them how much the nerve damage is affecting your sense of touch.
Doctors currently use a combination of clinical exams and electrical nerve tests to diagnose carpal tunnel, but ultrasound is becoming more popular because it's quick, accurate, and less expensive. This study aims to figure out whether the measurements from ultrasound images can give doctors better information about how much sensation damage you actually have—which could help guide treatment decisions.

You will have an ultrasound scan of your wrist and hand to measure the median nerve, and you'll complete touch sensitivity tests where researchers check how well you can feel sensations in your fingers. The study involves a single visit or a short series of visits to the hospital in Istanbul. The researchers will compare the ultrasound measurements with your touch sensation results to see if they're connected.
