Insights on the relationship between essential tremor and carpal tunnel syndrome: a letter to the editor
Abstract
I read with great interest your article titled “Is essential tremor a risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome? A prospective study excluding the most common comorbid conditions” by Kocatürk İ., published in Anatolian Current Medical, 2024;6(4):325-330. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity, resulting from compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel. CTS is commonly associated with risk factors such as repetitive hand movements, wrist injuries, obesity, and conditions like diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, and rheumatoid arthritis. These factors contribute to the compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel, leading to characteristic symptoms.

Keywords : Essential tremor, carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography, occupation
