Elevations in temperature may produce conduction block in demyelinated neurons. A well-described phenomenon in multiple sclerosis, it has also been reported in some patients with inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies. We used carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) as a model to study the effect of heat

We read with interest the recent short report titled "Conduction Block in Vasculitic Neuropathy" by Drs. Mohamed et al. (Muscle Nerve 1998;21:1084-1088). The chronic 2-year history and clinical findings of prominent ataxia, symmetric sensory loss, and weakness in their patient is more typical of an
We evaluated the natural history of median nerve sensory conduction, hand/wrist symptoms, and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in an 11-year longitudinal study of 289 workers from four industries. Twenty hands which had carpal tunnel release surgery were excluded, leaving 558 hands for the primary study
