Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common peripheral canalicular nerve entrapment syndrome in the upper extremities. The compression of or injury to the median nerve at the wrist as it passes through a space-limited osteofibrous carpal canal can cause CTS, resulting in hand pain and impaired function. The present paper reviews the literature on the prevalence, pathology, diagnosis, treatment, and risk factors of CTS in conjunction with the role of genetic factors in CTS etiology. CTS diagnosis is primarily linked with clinical symptoms; still, it is simplified by sophisticated approaches such as magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography. CTS symptoms can be ameliorated through conservative and surgical strategies. The exact CTS pathophysiology needs clarification. Genetic predispositions to CTS are augmented by various variants within genes; however, CTS etiology could include risk factors such as wrist movements, injury, and specific conditions (e.g., age, body mass index, sex, and cardiovascular conditions). The high prevalence of CTS diminishes the quality of life of its sufferers and imposes costs on health systems, hence the significance of research and clinical trials to elucidate CTS pathogenesis and develop novel therapeutic targets.
