Double compression of the ulnar nerve, including Guyon's canal syndrome associated with cubital tunnel syndrome caused by the anconeus epitrochlearis muscle, is a very rare condition. We present a case of double crush syndrome of the ulnar nerve at the wrist and elbow in a 55-year-old man, as well as a brief review of the literature. Although electrodiagnostic findings were consistent with an u...

BACKGROUND Local corticosteroid injection for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) provides greater clinical improvement in symptoms one month after injection compared to placebo but significant symptom relief beyond one month has not been demonstrated and the relapse of symptoms is possible.Neuroprotection and myelin repair actions of the progesterone was demonstrated in vivo and in vitro study.We rep...

Carpal tunnel syndrome, the most common entrapment neuropathy of the upper extremity, is caused by compression of the median nerve as it travels through the carpal tunnel. Classically, patients with the condition experience pain and paresthesias in the distribution of the median nerve, which includes the palmar aspect of the thumb, index and middle fingers, and radial half of the ring finger. A...

INTRODUCTION To study the effects of Polarized Polychromatic Noncoherent Light (Bioptron) therapy on patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS This study was designed as a randomized clinical trial. Forty four patients with mild or moderate CTS (confirmed by clinical and electrodiagnostic studies) were assigned randomly into two groups (intervention and control goups). At the beginn...

S i n g l e fiber electromyography (SFEMG) has proven to be a useful electrodiagnostic tool to assess defects of neuromuscular junction transmis

BACKGROUND Ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE) has been diagnosed with clinical examination and electrodiagnostic studies. This study was designed to determine the value of a combination of grey-scale and color Doppler ultrasound findings in the diagnosis of patients with UNE. MATERIALS AND METHODS During May to August 2013 41 patients with UNE (proven by electrodiagnostic studies) and 44 healthy vo...

Objectives To assess the outcomes of use electrodiagnosis in diagnosis and management discrete nerve injuries Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) patients.Design Secondary retrospective cohort analysis patients diagnosed with CRPS from a single outpatient physical medicine rehabilitation clinic. All who had abnormal electrodiagnostic findings, addition to CRPS.Results Sixty 248 underwent elec...

This is an evidence-based review of electrodiagnostic (EDX) testing of patients with suspected lumbosacral radiculopathy to determine its utility in diagnosis and prognosis. Literature searches were performed to identify articles applying EDX techniques to patients with suspected lumbosacral radiculopathy. From the 355 articles initially discovered, 119 articles describing nerve conduction stud...

Objective To demonstrate the importance of recognizing and separating nonmedian nerve-related symptoms from those related to median nerve compression at the carpal tunnel. Methods The records of 80 patients, aged 31-82 years (39 males and 41 females), who had undergone median nerve decompression using open and endoscopic release surgery, were reviewed. Peripheral electrodiagnostic studies wer...
