The Accuracy of the Clinical Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Diagnosis before the Nerve Conduction Studies by A. Atkočiūnas, A. Šimkutė, Rasa Mameniškienė

“…The most common diagnosis after consultation was carpal tunnel syndrome (42.6%), followed by pathologies of nerve roots or plexuses (14.5%). Out of 91 patients referred to electroneurography due to suspicion of CTS, 67 (73.6%) were confirmed cases, whereas, for 12 (13.2%) patients, no abnormalities were detected during NCS.Conclusion: Our analysis supports the theory that the electrodiagnostic examination is essential to specify and confirm the diagnosis of CTS, thus avoiding hyperdiagnosis and preventing patients from excessive surgical treatment. …”
