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...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of Phalen's test and Nerve Conduction Velocity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent disorder in women 30 to 60 years old, which is due to compression of median nerve in hand wrist tunnel. As this syndrome is prevalent, diagnostic power of clinical tests are undefined and electrodiagnostic tests are not accessible widely. This study was conducted to determine the diagnostic power of Phalen's test in comparison with NCV. ...

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...
متن کاملDiagnosis 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...
متن کاملElectromyographic 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.
