The relationship between ultrasonography findings and physical examination findings in carpal tunnel syndrome
Objective: In this study, we aimed to determine the reliability of median nerve measurements obtained by ultrasonography in the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and to determine the correlation with Tinel’s and Phalen’s sign test which are the diagnostic methods in order for clinical physical examination. Materials and Methods: Hand wrists of 36 patients were diagnosed as Carpal Tunnel Syndr...
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 کاملCorrelation between Ultrasonography Findings and Electrodiagnostic Severity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: 3D Ultrasonography
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To determine the correlation between the cross-sectional area (CSA) of the median nerve measured at the wrist using three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography (US) and the electrophysiological severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS We prospectively examined 102 wrists of 51 patients with clinical CTS, which were classified into 3 groups according to the electrodi...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملThe Correlation Between Electrodiagnostic Results and Ultrasonographic Findings in the Severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in Females
OBJECTIVE To determine which ultrasonographic measurement can be used as an indicator reflecting the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), by comparing electrodiagnostic results with ultrasonographic measurements in females. Many previous studies have tried to reveal that the ultrasonography (US) can possibility be used for diagnosis and severity of CTS. However, the criteria are different ...
