Abstract
As one of the common peripheral neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is accountable for the majority of typical hand pain and functional disturbance in median nerve innervation. The median nerve compression may cause some uncomfortable sensations including pain, numbness, tingling, and strength loss which also depends on the severity of the condition. Many factors could contribute to CTS occurrence. Several risk factors are thought to be in charge in CTS progressions, such as body mass index (BMI), gender, pregnancy, and biomechanical exposures combination is significantly explained as the major component in suffering CTS. Clinicians need to know the contributing risk factor to benefit the information within the implication for the treatment and reducing symptoms severity. Keywords: carpal tunnel syndrome, risk factor, multifactor.
