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 کاملDiagnostic properties of nerve conduction tests in population-based carpal tunnel syndrome
BACKGROUND Numerous nerve conduction tests are used for the electrodiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), with a wide range of sensitivity and specificity reported for each test in clinical studies. The tests have not been assessed in population-based studies. Such information would be important when using electrodiagnosis in epidemiologic research. The purpose of this study was to compare ...
متن کاملEvaluation of sural nerve automated nerve conduction study in the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
INTRODUCTION New tests for improved diagnosis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) are useful. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated the utility of automated nerve conduction study (NCS) of the sural nerve with a new portable device for the diagnosis of DPN in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study included 114 T2DM patients (58 men) with mean age 64.60 ±8.61 years. Exclusio...
متن کاملThe Effects of Working Hours on Nerve Conduction Test in Computer Operators
BACKGROUND Long hours of work at a computer can result in potential adverse effects such as pain, paraesthesia, and subjective weakness of upper extremities with associated decreased nerve conduction velocities of peripheral nerves (median and ulnar). OBJECTIVE To determine whether repetitive tasks performed for long hours by computer operators can lead to peripheral neuropathy as measured by...
متن کاملSensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of neuropathy diabetes score (NDS) compared with the Michigan neuropathy screening instrument (MNSI)
Background MNSI is widely used for evaluation of distal symmetric peripheral polyneuropathy (PPN) in individuals with diabetes. In the DCCT/EDIC study, the MNSI was validated for screening of signs and symptoms of PPN, presenting, for a cutoff of ≥2.5, sensitivity of 61%, specificity of 79%, positive predictive value (PPV) of 55% and negative (NPV) of 83%, when compared to neurological examinat...
