腕管综合征的中西医治疗进展
Progress in Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

腕管综合征是现在常见的一种外周神经疾病，主要是因为腕管内的正中神经受压迫而导致的一类疾病。随着临床研究及治疗的不断深入，腕管综合征的治疗方法不断优化。腕管综合征若不及时治疗，后期可出现拇指运动功能障碍或手部感觉减退，大鱼际肌肉会无力和萎缩，严重者手部可能残疾，具有致残性。因此选择个体化的治疗方式，加快功能恢复，提高患者的生活质量，是目前治疗这个疾病的重点。从腕管解剖结构、临床分型、治疗方式及中医药认识等多个方面作研究，为腕管综合征的治疗提供一些思路。
Nowadays, carpal tunnel syndrome is a prevalent peripheral nerve disorder, characterized primarily by compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, resulting in a distinct set of symptoms. As clinical research and treatment methods advance, there is a continuous optimization of therapeutic approaches for carpal tunnel syndrome. Failure to promptly treat carpal tunnel syndrome can lead to late-stage complications such as diminished thumb movement or decreased sensation in the hand. The thenar muscles might experience weakness and atrophy, and in severe instances, there is a potential for hand disability, representing a potentially incapacitating state. Consequently, the present emphasis in addressing this condition is on choosing personalized treatment strategies to accelerate functional recovery and improve the quality of life for patients. Examining carpal tunnel syndrome from diverse angles, encompassing anatomical structure, clinical categorization, treatment methods, and traditional Chinese medicine viewpoints, can offer valuable insights into its management.
