Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.

This clinical practice guideline was created to improve patient care by outlining the appropriate information-gathering and decision-making processes involved in managing the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. The methods used to develop this clinical practice guideline were designed to combat bias, enhance transparency, and promote reproducibility. The guideline's recommendations are as foll...

Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

It was performed electroneurographic (ENG) studies with surface electrodes and examined nervus medianus (NM) in  patients ( females), average age of , years (X±SD=,±), with clinical diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and at least one border or discrete abnormal value of conventional electrophysiological tests. It was also examined  healthy individuals ( females) as cont...

Electromyographic diagnosis of the carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sensory conduction velocities of the median nerve were studied from digit to palm and from palm to wrist in normal subjects and in patients with the carpal tunnel syndrome. Definite slowing was noted in the palm to wrist segment, even in the early carpal tunnel syndrome. It was noted that 37% of normal women over 40 years of age had electrophysiological evidence of the carpal tunnel syndrome.

Sonographic diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome

Radiol Bras. 2015 Nov/Dez;48(6):IX–X Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive neuropathy of the upper extremity, affecting 2% to 5% of the population, usually involving compression of the median nerve in the wrist region. The prevalence is higher in women than in men, and most commonly the disease onset occurs in the age range between 30 and 60 years. In older patients, the f...
