✦ Synopsis

We describe a maneuver that eases or abolishes paresthesias in carpal tunnel syndrome. With the affected hand palm up, the distal metacarpal heads are gently squeezed together; in some instances stretch of digits III and IV is also required. This maneuver may help in the clinical diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, can be useful as a means of relieving symptoms, and provides the basis for the design of an innovative splint.

Cutaneous silent period (CSP) was measured on stimulating digits 2 and 5 in 19 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and compared with 20 healthy volunteers. In 2 patients with severe CTS, CSP was absent on digit 2 but present on digit 5. In mild/moderate CTS digit 2 CSP mean duration was 50.9
