Nerve to flexor pollicis brevis and importance
Superficial head
The recurrent branch of the median nerve innervates the superficial head of the flexor pollicis brevis muscle.
#Deep head /medial head
The deep branch of the ulnar nerve, which originates from spinal roots C8 and T1, innervates the deep head of the flexor pollicis brevis muscle. The deep head may also receive some innervation from the recurrent branch of the median nerve.
*Importance
For losing complete function (thumb flexion) both of those nerves have to be damaged

Mnemonic for median nerve function with action
Softly grab (FDS,lat.2FDP & FPoli.L) a piece of LOAF (hand muscles) by its undersurface (already supinated forearm) with keeping the wrist flexed to support them weight (FCR)
and then give it (pronators) to someones middle (median N.) of palm.
Is Carpal tunnel syndrome painful
Yes, carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) can be painful:
Pain
CTS can cause pain in the hand and fingers, especially in the thumb, index, middle, and ring fingers. Pain can also travel up the forearm to the shoulder.
Other symptoms
CTS can also cause tingling, numbness, burning, weakness, and clumsiness in the hand. Pain can be worse at night, interrupting sleep.
When pain occurs
Pain can occur when gripping objects, twisting a doorknob, lifting something heavy, or holding a phone to your ear.
When symptoms worsen
As CTS worsens, symptoms can occur more often and become worse.
Treatments for CTS
include:
Wearing a splint at night
Physical therapy — extension and flexion stretch -hold for 15 seconds for 5 times in a row
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, Aleve, Tylenol, Advil, or Motrin
Corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
Ice packs or ice baths
Heat therapy
In severe cases, surgery may be necessary.

What is supinator Longus
, there is no supinator longus muscle, but the term “supinator” can refer to any muscle that causes supination. In older texts, the brachioradialis was called the “supinator longus”, and the muscle now known as the supinator was called the “supinator brevis”.
