A CLINICAL, ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL STUDY OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Ganesan K, Chezhian D, Jason Ambrose F

Abstract :

 Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most commonly encountered entrapment neuropathy. We evaluated the clinical, electrophysiological and radiological profile of 96 patients with symptoms suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome. Electrophysiological studies identified  subclinical carpal tunnel syndrome in asymptomatic hands in three fourths of the patients. Digit 4 median ulnar sensory comparison was found to be the most sensitive electrophysiological test. Ultrasound was less sensitive than electrophysiology.
