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
A cross-sectional study of 471 randomly selected employees from 4 industries was performed to assess the prevalence of slowing of sensory conduction of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel as well as the effect of age and sex on slowing. The association between slowed conduction and symptoms of car
