protective effect of ORCDs on the median nerve, given the significantly negative association between ORCDs and CTS also found in the group of previous ORCD users.In conclusion, we suggest that a reduced dose of estroprogestinic and the preferential use of monophasic rather than triphasic drugs are factors contributing to a reduced risk of CTS in women taking ORCDs, while a possible anti-mineralcorticoid effect of the new-generation ORCDs could also play a protective role.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
