Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is peripheral entrapment neuropathy in which compression of the median nerve at wrist occurs. Objective: To evaluate and study, ultrasound nerve-conduction predicting outcome after open surgical release carpel syndrome. Patients Methods: This prospective observational include 30 patients from out-patient Neurology orthopedic clinics Al Azhar Assuit Unive...

Compression of the median and ulnar nerves at the wrist is frequently encountered. Carpal tunnel syndrome usually occurs without any obvious extrinsic cause; several cases have however been reported caused by anomalous or hypertrophic muscles. A survey of the literature shows that compression neuropathy of the median nerve has been reported in relation with anomalies affecting three muscles: th...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most frequent neuropathy of the upper extremity, that mainly occurs in manual workers and individuals, whose wrist is overloaded by performing repetitive precise tasks. In the past it was common among of typists, seamstresses and mechanics, but nowadays it is often caused by long hours of computer keyboard use. The patient usually complains of pain, hypersensitivit...

The objective of this study is to determine cut-off points for the crosssectional areas of the median nerve proximal and distal to carpal tunnel in moderate and severe Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and compare the results of our study with those available in the literature. Forty-three patients with upper limb pain other than CTS and 36 patients wi...

BACKGROUND Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common form of peripheral nerve injury, affecting approximately 3 % of the population. While surgery is effective in mild and moderate cases, nerve and functional recovery are often not complete in severe cases. Therefore, there is a need for adjuvant methods to improve nerve regeneration in those cases. Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR) is involved ...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is by far the most common cause of median nerve damage. The carpal tunnel is an anatomical compartment of the hand; it is bounded on three sides by carpal bones which form an arch, and on the palmar side by the transverse carpal ligament. Pathogenesis CTS results from compromise of median nerve function at the wrist, caused by increased pressure in the carpal tunnel...

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common of compression neuropathies and in structure upper limb syndromes. Surgical treatments are diverse clarifications indications for implementation each them will allow to individualize behavior intervention. Purpose work – clarify determining factors classical advanced minimally invasive intervention carpal syndrome; evaluate effectiveness such an approac...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a neuropathy due to the compression of the median nerve. It is shown that gabapentin in high doses is effective in treatment of CTS patients. In this study we evaluated the efficacy of low doses of gabapentin in treatment of CTS patients. Ninety patients with CTS were randomly assigned to groups A, B and C. Gabapentin was administered to group A with dose of 100 ...
