Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Conditions
Brief summary
This prospective study aims to evaluate the median nerve in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by high-frequency ultrasound and color Doppler in comparison with clinical and Nerve conduction studies.
Detailed description
This prospective study aims to evaluate the median nerve anatomical changes in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by high-frequency ultrasound and color Doppler in comparison with clinical and Nerve conduction studies physiological changes to determine the efficacy of ultrasound to diagnose and determine the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome.
