Summary

This observational study examines changes in the median nerve in patients diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using shear wave elastography, microvascular imaging, and cross-sectional area measurements. It also compares the individual and combined effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus, DPN, and CTS on symptoms and hand function.
