Do Electrophysiological Findings Differ According To The Clinical Severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2006, Vol 23, Issue 4
Abstract
Aims: To assess the electromyographic (EMG) differences between groups with clinically mild and severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) Patients and Methods: The charts of 226 CTS patients were retrospectively reviewed and a total of 385 hands that underwent EMG studies were identified. These hands were assigned to mild and severe groups according to the severity of the clinical involvement, as defined by the modified criteria of the Italian CTS study group. Nerve conduction studies in these hands were also classified as mild and severe according to the modified criteria of the same group. Needle EMG findings were also analysed. Results: A good correlation between the clinical and electrophysiological staging of the CTS was demonstrated (p
