The Relationship between Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography Findings in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common neuropathy in the general population. Nerve conduction studies are among the standard methods for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Electromyography is painful and unpleasant, and if nerve conduction studies can be used to diagnose axonal injury in carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography might be replaced. Objectives: This study aimed t...
متن کاملElectrophysiologic studies in leprosy.
The author reviews the literature on electromyography and nerve conduction velocity studies in leprosy. It is concluded that these studies can be helpful in the early diagnosis of neural involvement, in the elucidation of pathophysiological mechanisms, and in the follow-up of patients under medical and/or surgical treatment.
متن کاملAcute Combined Median and Radial Nerve Palsies after Distal Humeral Shaft Fracture
We report a case of a 29-year-old man who presented with a distal humeral shaft fracture sustained by blunt trauma. Physicalexamination and nerve conduction study were consistent with injury to the median and radial nerves proximal to theelbow. The patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the humeral shaft fracture with neurolysis of the medianand radial nerves. Repeat electrom...
متن کاملPRACTICE PARAMETER FOR ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC STUDIES IN ULNAR NEUROPATHY AT THE ELBOW SUMMARY STATEMENT Introduction
The sensitivity and specificity of nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography for the diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow were evaluated by a critical review of the literature. With a search of the medical literature in English through January 1996, 101 articles were identified and reviewed on the basis of six criteria of scientific methodology. The findings of 6 articles that ...
