No carpal tunnel: Generally is not caused by typing or texting. This may make a existing case feel worse but this is not the primary cause.

No: CTS is less common in people who type all day than in manual workers, suggesting that typing is not a major risk factor for CTS

Possibly: Typing, as with other repetitive motions that cause prolonged flexing of the wrist, has been associated with development of carpal tunnel syndrome. However, evidence is not conclusive that this is the only factor and there are often other associated circumstances that lead to the development of carpal tunnel.

Unlikely: Carpal tunnel syndrome comes from pressure on the medican nerve at the wrist. There is no evidence that typing or clicking causes either.
