Median Nerve Stenosis in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

NCT05861349 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 84

Last updated 2024-05-06

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to test the new kind of ultrasound-based measurements in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Do the measurements of the size of the median nerve at the point where it is maximally compressed accurately diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome?
* May these measurements accurately tell how severe is the carpal tunnel syndrome?

Participants will be asked to:

* Undergo conduction studies of median and ulnar nerve.
* Undergo ultrasound of the median nerve.
* Fill out the Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire and a demographic questionnaire.

Researchers will compare the group of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome with healthy volunteers to see if respective measurements differ significantly between groups.
