Is it true that carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness in the hand?
Yes. Multiple reference and peer-reviewed sources state that carpal tunnel syndrome causes numbness in the hand, typically describing numbness as a main symptom of the condition. One retrospective surgical study links hand numbness to CTS only in a post-operative subgroup.
