central nervous system, neuropathy, distal median nerve, distal median nerve dysfunction, form of peripheral neuropathy, nerve dysfunction outside the central nervous system, affecting movement of, sensation, in the hand, distal median nerve, common form, carpal tunnel syndrome, dysfunction, a single nerve group, distal median nerve, classed, mononeuropathy, mononeuropathy implies a local cause, the nerve damage, occasionally systemic disorders, isolated nerve damage, damage that occurs, mononeuritis multiplex, distal median nerve dysfunction occurs, the nerve is injured by trauma, entrapment, inflammation, entrapment involves pressure on the nerve where it passes, a narrow structure, wrist fractures, injure the median nerve, present a risk, entrapment, the nerve later on, nerve, compressed, wrist by tendonitis, arthritis, conditions that affect connective tissue, deposits, in the tissues, multiple myeloma, pregnancy, acromegaly, hypothyroidism, mechanical factors, nerve disease, blocking blood flow, no detectable cause, carpal tunnel syndrome, a form of median nerve dysfunction, the more common localized peripheral neuropathies, carpal tunnel syndrome associated, entrapment, the nerve following prolonged, repeated pressure on the wrist area, repetitive wrist movements those made, typing, using a computer, fairly common occupational, recreational injury, sensation changes, the thumb, first 2 fingers, numbness, decreased sensation, tingling, burning sensation, waking up at night, wrist, hand pain, severe, weakness, the hand, dropping things, difficulty grasping objects, examination, decreased sensation, in the thumb side, radial, fingers, the hand, weakness, the thumb, difficulty using it to pinch, tests that reveal distal median nerve dysfunction, emg, a recording of electrical activity in muscles, nerve conduction tests, nerve biopsy, rarely needed, guided by the suspected cause, the dysfunction, suggested by the patient's history, pattern of symptom development, various blood tests, x-rays, scans, tests, treatment is aimed at correcting the underlying cause, isolated median nerve dysfunction, due to entrapment, injury, identifying the site of entrapment is best done, emg, x-rays, mri scans, an entrapment is confirmed, medications, surgery helpful, depending on the site of entrapment, severity of nerve injury, median nerve, carpal tunnel syndrome, a wrist splint, reduce further injury, nerve, help alleviate symptoms, no treatment, recovery is spontaneous, over-the-counter, prescription medication needed to control nerve pain, neuralgia, nerves, necessary to look, an underlying medical problem, affect nerves, diabetes, kidney disease, damage nerves, in these cases, treatment is directed, underlying medical condition, physical therapy exercises appropriate, people to maintain muscle strength, orthopedic assistance, maximize the ability, use the hand, braces, splints, appliances, vocational counseling, occupational therapy, occupational changes, job retraining, similar interventions recommended, the nerve dysfunction, successfully treated, possibility of full recovery, partial, complete loss of movement, sensation, nerve pain severe, persist, prolonged period of time, partial, complete loss of hand movement, partial, complete loss of sensation, in the fingers, recurrent, unnoticed injury, hand, symptoms of distal median nerve dysfunction, early diagnosis, treatment increase the chance of controlling symptoms, prevention, depending on the cause, in patients, underlying diabetes, controlling blood sugar, reduce the risk of developing nerve disorders, in occupations that, require repetitive wrist movements, a change, in the way the job is performed necessary, frequent breaks in activity, "wrist rests" on keyboards, reduce the risk of distal median nerve dysfunction, avoid prolonged repetitive movement, the wrist.
