Clinical symptom severity and nerve conduction studies were evaluated for 64 hands with CTS in 45 patients. We found the following: (1) significant relationships
rable to that obtained using the microneurographic technique. 4, Being less affected by the conduction time of the afferent somatosensory fiber and by central processing, SuCV may be a useful parameter with which to evaluate efferent sudomotor function. Denis Λlic Λet al., however, noted that it is
