Description of Procedure or Service Quantitative sensory testing (QST) systems are used for the noninvasive assessment and quantification of sensory nerve function in patients with symptoms of or the potential for neurologic damage or disease. Pain conditions evaluated may include diabetic neuropathy and uremic and toxic neuropathies, complex regional pain syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ...

Nerve compression syndromes of the upper extremity, including carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, posterior interosseous syndrome and radial tunnel syndrome, are common in the general population. Diagnosis is made based on patient complaint and history as well as specific exam and study findings. Treatment options include various operative and nonoperative modalities, both of which...

Abstract Background Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is known as one of the most common neurological extra-articular manifestations in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Studies on CTS RA depend mostly electrophysiological assessment. Few studies have used ultrasonography for evaluation local causes with much focus wrist and tenosynovitis main cause entrapment neuropathy median nerve RA. The aim o...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a symptom of compression neuropathy that occurs in the hands, specifically median nerve. The incidence carpal adults known to be around 0.7% -9.2% women, while men it 0.4% -2.1%. has 3x greater risk women compared and 2-3 times more common pregnant than those who are not pregnant. purpose this paper determine factors for women. This research literature review as ...

The most commonly known nerve compression syndrome is carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the median nerve is compressed at the wrist. Along with the pathological processes, some of the anatomically variant structures can also compress the nerves and often leads to confusion in the diagnosis and treatment if one is unaware of such possible anatomical variants. Here, we present a case of possible m...
