Which condition involves inflammation of the wrist causing pressure against the median nerve?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is characterized by inflammation in the wrist, leading to compression of the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel. This condition is often associated with repetitive hand movements or other factors that increase pressure within the tunnel, resulting in symptoms such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. The median nerve is responsible for sensation in parts of the hand, and when it becomes compressed, these nerve functions are disrupted.

In contrast, carpoptosis refers to the drooping or falling of the wrist and hand, which is a different presentation and does not specifically involve nerve compression. Bursitis involves inflammation of the bursae, which are fluid-filled sacs that cushion bones and tendons but does not specifically affect the median nerve. Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, and tenderness in localized areas; it does not directly pertain to wrist inflammation or median nerve pressure. Thus, the specific nature of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome makes it the correct answer to this question.
