THE ROLE OF PHYSICAL FACTORS IN THE CONSREVATIVE TREATMENT OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME // РОЛЯТА НА ФИЗИКАЛНИTТЕ ФАКТОРИ ПРИ КОНСЕРВАТИВНОТО ЛЕЧЕНИЕ НА СИНДРОМА НА КАРПАЛНИЯ КАНАЛ
[EN] Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compression neuropathy with a significant influense on the quality of life of a large number of patients and serious social and economic consequenses for the society. The adequate therapeutical approach according to the stage of this disease is …

Genetic risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common occupational injury that is caused by an increase in pressure within the carpal tunnel structure which, in turn, causes compression of the median nerve. Although several factors are believed to be associated with increased risk of CTS, the direct causes of …

Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Imaging & Sonography in an Animal Model in the Acute Stages of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a musculoskeletal disorder characterized by the compression of an enlarged or inflamed median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel and deep to the flexor retinaculum. CTS is one of the most common entrapment syndromes of the upper limbs, with hundreds of …

Prediction Of The Nerve Conduction Abnormalities Frequently Associated With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome From Clinical Features
… nerve conduction tests used in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). The prediction model combined commonly recorded clinical history, signs, and symptoms in a multivariate analysis. Electrophysiological abnormality and adjustments for the influencing variables (sex, distance, and …

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Peripheral Neuropathic Pain in the Spinal Cord and Brainstem
… were carried out in healthy control subjects and patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in a 3T Siemens Magnetom Trio. Subjects reported the point at which the pressure (in mmHg, applied to the wrist at the location of the median nerve) corresponded to a pain level of 2, 4, …

Factors affecting the choice of surgical treatment in patients with electrophysiogically confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome
연구배경 및 목적 수근관증후군(carpal tunnel syndrome, CTS)은 가장 흔한 단일신경병으로 비교적 높은 유병률에도 불구, 치료 방법 선택에 관한 명확한 지침이 없어 실제 임상에서 혼선이 있는 실정이다. 본 연구의 목적은 전기생리학적 검사로 확진된 수근관증후군 환자의 수술적 치료 선택에 미치는 요인들을 분석하여 수술적 치료의 지침에 도움을 주고자 함이다. 특히 실제 진료현장에서 수술적 요법을 선택할 때 영향을 주는 여러 요인들을 다면적으로 고려하여 최대한 진료 현실을 반영하도록 하였다. 연구대상 및 연구방법 …

Utilization of Musculoskeletal Sonography in Detecting Physiologic Changes of the Median Nerve in a Working Animal Model
Currently the gold standard for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is through the use of nerve electrodiagnostic testing (EDX). The diagnosis is characterized by a drop in sensory and motor function within the median nerve. This increase in nerve dysfunction is associated with tissue …

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Diabetes. Surgical outcome and nerve pathology
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy in the upper extremity. Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of developing CTS from an estimated prevalence of 2-4% in the general population to 15-30% in diabetics. Results after carpal tunnel release in diabetic patients with …

Frequency-Dependent Conduction Block In Demyelinating Focal Neuropathies
… Specifically, patients with moderate to severe carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but, with no evidence of conduction block via conventional motor nerve conduction study techniques, were assessed in the initial studies of this thesis for evidence of frequency-dependent conduction block (FDB) by way …
