INTRODUCTION Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a rapidly progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder for which there is no effective treatment. The diagnosis is dependent on the clinical presentation and consistent electrodiagnostic studies. Typically, there is a combination of upper and lower motor neuron signs as well as electrodiagnostic studies indicative of diffuse motor axonal injury. Th...

BACKGROUND Electrophysiologic studies including electromyography and nerve conduction studies play a role in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), despite evidence that these studies do not correlate with CTS-specific symptom scores. There is a lack of evidence comparing electrophysiologic data with general measures of function. METHODS Fifty patients presenting for CTS treatment ov...

in order to identify the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of childhood guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) in east azarbaijan province, clinical and electrophysiological data on 40 consecutive children with gbs, admitted to tabriz children's medical center from march 21st 1999 to march 20th 2002, were analyzed. all patients received intravenous immunoglobulin, 400 mg /kg/ day fo...

OBJECTIVE To determine which ultrasonographic measurement can be used as an indicator reflecting the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), by comparing electrodiagnostic results with ultrasonographic measurements in females. Many previous studies have tried to reveal that the ultrasonography (US) can possibility be used for diagnosis and severity of CTS. However, the criteria are different ...

Objective: This study investigated the correlations between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) in patients with ulnar neuropathy at elbow (UNE).Methods:In total, 46 who underwent MRI NCS a single center from 2014 to 2018 were included. Motor studies, including segmental inching tests, sensory performed. The 5-point severity score was evaluated based on signal ch...

BACKGROUND There is no clear-cut consensus on the best diagnostic criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome. The objective of this study was to compare the probability of carpal tunnel syndrome being present following electrodiagnostic testing with the probability of it being present after the diagnosis was established on the basis of a clinical evaluation alone. METHODS The study sample included p...
