✦ Synopsis

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 ± 13.9 ms, significantly longer than control subjects (36.9 ± 8.7 ms) (P = 0.005). CSP was found to be abnormal in CTS, being absent in severe and prolonged in mild/moderate cases.

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
