Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sindrom Terowong Karpal

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by compression of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist, causing tingling, numbness, and pain in the hand. It is common in Malaysia among factory workers, office workers, homemakers, and pregnant women. Symptoms are often worst at night and can disrupt sleep. Early treatment prevents permanent nerve damage and avoids the need for surgery.

Symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

✓Tingling or "pins and needles" in the thumb, index, and middle fingers
✓Numbness in the hand, especially at night
✓Pain radiating from the wrist up the forearm
✓Weakness when gripping or holding objects
✓Tendency to drop things
✓Symptoms relieved by shaking or dangling the hand

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor if you experience persistent hand tingling, numbness at night, or weakness in grip. Early treatment with wrist splints and corticosteroid injections is most effective when CTS is mild to moderate. Severe or long-standing CTS with persistent numbness and weakness may require nerve conduction studies and surgical referral.

Treatment at Klinik Muhibbah

Our doctors at Klinik Muhibbah assess carpal tunnel syndrome through clinical examination including Tinel's sign and Phalen's test. We identify contributing factors — pregnancy, hypothyroidism, diabetes, repetitive hand work. Treatment begins with wrist splinting (especially at night), ergonomic advice, and activity modification. For moderate CTS, carpal tunnel corticosteroid injections provide effective relief. Severe or persistent cases are referred to an orthopaedic or hand surgeon for nerve conduction studies and consideration of surgical decompression.

Is hand tingling at night always carpal tunnel?▼
