The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway of ligament and bones at the base of your hand. It contains nerve and tendons. Sometimes, thickening from irritated tendons or other swelling narrows the tunnel and causes the nerve to be compressed. Symptoms usually start gradually.
Treatment includes resting your hand, splints, pain and anti-inflammatory medicines, and surgery. Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
