of 65 pregnant ladies diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome with electrophysiological studies at the third trimester who were 
followed  in  the  neurosurgical  and  maternity  clinics  during  their pregnancy, follow up of  their  symptoms  was  performed 
through the course of 12 months after delivery. All pregnant patients were managed either by  medication, splint, surgery or just 
reassurance during the  year 2014 at  King Hussein Medical Center;  Royal Medical Services.   A total of 65 pregnant patients 
were  treated  with  different modalities,  of which 55  patients  (84.6%)  were  treated with Non-surgical   approach 
( reassurance , medication,  wrist  splint  or  steroid  injection).  Only  10  patients  (15.4%)  needed  surgical  intervention.    Nonsurgical management options are cornerstone for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome during pregnancy,  from our results 
we recommend that  carpal tunnel syndrome cases during pregnancy to  be managed by  non-surgical  options as a first line of 
management until delivery , in the  majority  ofcases    avoidance   of surgical   intervention   was achieved ,   More robust RCTs 
should be carried out to provide solid evidence regarding the best method to manage carpal tunnel syndrome during pregnancy</Abstract><Email>dr.aljubour76@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>7</volume><issue>5</issue><year>2016</year><keyword> Carpal tunnel syndrome,Pregnancy,Median nerve compression</keyword><AUTHORS>Raed M Al-Jubour,Emad ALdeen S AL-Shara</AUTHORS><afflication>Neurosurgeons, at King Hussein Medical Center, Royal Medical Services, Amman- Jordan,OBGYN specialist at King Hussein Medical Center, Royal Medical Services, Amman- Jordan</afflication></Article></Articles>
