✦ Synopsis

The electrodiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is reviewed, including discussions of old and new techniques of motor and sensory nerve conduction, anomalous innervation, and needle electrode examination. A variety of sensitive nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are available for the evaluation of a patient with suspected CTS. For any particular patient, the NCS method chosen by the clinical neurophysiologist may vary for a number of reasons, including the severity of the deficit and the presence of superimposed conditions.

Correction factors exist to allow for the dramatic effect that temperature has on nerve conduction study parameters. However, these are based on normal nerves in normal individuals and may not be appropriate in the diseased nerve setting. Our clinical study showed that in carpal tunnel syndrome, the
