An illustrated diagram of a human hand affected by carpal tunnel syndrome. The image highlights the median nerve running through the wrist and into the fingers, with bright yellow nerve pathways depicted. The hand is shaded purple to represent numbness and tingling, while red concentric circles on the wrist indicate pain and pressure. The fingers show signs of weakness and sensory disturbance, visually explaining the effects of nerve compression in carpal tunnel syndrome.
