No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The main objective is to investigate the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), and among the secondary objectives, to establish the ultrasound parameters that are predictors of CTS in comparison with neurophysiological studies, attempting to standardize a protocol and reference values that determine the presence or absence of CTS. Finally, cost-effectiveness analysis is proposed.
