Its Carpal TS where-: The median nerve gets trapped in front of the wrist causing numbness, tingling in fingers thumb to middle, & maybe ring (one side of it). Prevention includes using ergonomically appropriate wrist pads, keyboards, while working on computers, taking periods of rests every 2 hrs or so (for 10 minutes), using a wrist brace, if symptoms have already started with b complex vitamins, etc.
