The CTS remains a challenge for health care providers due to its high prevalence and economic consequences it is projected that in every 5 patients 1 complains of symptoms of pain numbness and a tingling sensation in the hands CTS is estimated to occur in 38 of the general population with an incidence rate of 276100000 per year and happens more frequently in women than in men so a prevalence rate of 92 in women and 6 in men
