Description
Tesfaye Gebrye and four colleagues pool world studies on how common carpal tunnel syndrome is, in a twenty twenty-four review. The condition, a pinched wrist nerve, burdens health and work. The team searched five databases for studies from twenty twelve to twenty twenty-four and kept thirty-one papers from fifteen countries. Together they covered more than five million people.
Rates ranged widely, from near zero to three quarters of a group in small samples. The pooled estimate was about fourteen percent, though with a wide band of doubt. Studies came most often from the United States and Saudi Arabia. The authors call the overall burden high and urge better prevention and care planning.
