Burning hands and numb fingers and palm pain are very common among patients who come to our clinic and many people may experience it at different stages of life such as middle age, old age or pregnancy.
Various causes can cause burning of the hands, especially the palms and fingers, but one of the most important causes is pressure on the nerves in the wrists, which is called carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Carpal tunnel syndrome is more common in housewives who have a lot of manual activity or active working men, and interestingly, this disease is often confused with anemia and iron deficiency. Most of these people say they have taken a lot of iron supplements but have not recovered.
Other causes of hand pain and numbness include advanced cervical discopathy, stenosis of the cervical spinal canal, pressure on the roots of the cervical nerves, damage to the cervical spinal cord, damage to the brachial plexus, neuropathies in rare cases, multiple sclerosis.
To diagnose the above cases, which have very different treatment methods, EMG-NCV are needed.
