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
## Abstract ## Purpose. To compare the diagnostic value of highβresolution ultrasound (US) with nerve conduction studies (NCS) in patients with clinically defined carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). ## Methods. A prospective study was conducted on 66 consecutive patients investigated for sensory hand
