Progression of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome According to Electrodiagnostic Testing in Nonoperatively Treated Patients
Background: This study tested the null hypothesis that nonoperatively treated patients would not show disease progression of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) over time according to median nerve distal motor latency (DML) on two electrodiagnostic tests. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed sixty-two adult nonoperatively treated patients who were diagnosed with CTS confirmed by a minimum of...
متن کاملElectrodiagnostic evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies are a valid and reliable means of confirming the diagnosis. This monograph addresses the various EDX techniques used to evaluate the median nerve at the wrist. It also demonstrates the limitations of EDX studies with a focus on the sensitivity and specificity of EDX testing for CTS. The need to use...

متن کاملThe value added by electrodiagnostic testing in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
BACKGROUND There is no clear-cut consensus on the best diagnostic criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome. The objective of this study was to compare the probability of carpal tunnel syndrome being present following electrodiagnostic testing with the probability of it being present after the diagnosis was established on the basis of a clinical evaluation alone. METHODS The study sample included p...
متن کاملA systematic review of the utility of electrodiagnostic testing in carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) comprises a complex of symptoms in the hand, including pain and paresthesia and weakness of hand muscles thought to result from compression of the median nerve. Many clinicians either refer patients for electrodiagnostic studies to aid diagnosis or conduct electrodiagnostic studies, which may be useful as an aid to decisions on treatment. The aim of this systematic ...
