Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Case Reports and Analysis - Ultrasound Imaging and Pathomechanics of Median Nerve Compression

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Case Reports and Analysis - Ultrasound Imaging and Pathomechanics of Median Nerve Compression

Clinical Trial Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. The hypothesis is that ultrasound imaging can be used to visualize nerve compression in carpal tunnel patients during hand activity, and normal subjects will not demonstrate any nerve compression.

Clinical Trial Description

Two patients with carpal tunnel syndrome underwent nerve testing to document that they had median nerve abnormality at the wrist. They subsequently had ultrasound imaging of the wrist at rest and during a stress test using hand activity. Two control subjects had nerve testing to prove that they had no nerve abnormality at the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel syndrome patients demonstrated nerve compression on the ultrasound images during the stress tests and the normal subjects showed no nerve compression. ;
