“…Likewise, Corwin and Kasdan 6 using electrodiagnosis, reported that median neuropathy at In those with bilateral symptoms and in those affected unilaterally, 14% and 26%, respectively, remained with surgery to one hand only after a mean of 3.6 years from the first operation. All of the patients in the first, and half of the patients in the second group, had positive electrodiagnostic test results in these non-operated hands.…”

“…Since the neurological symptoms of CTS are not specific for median neuropathy at the wrist, EMG studies of both hands included the distribution of the ulnar as well as of the median nerves; both DML and SNCV studies were carried out in order to exclude patients with proximal median neuropathy, polyneuropathy, or cervical radiculopathy. 1,6 The temperature of the arm was not measured. All the tests were conducted in normal clinical settings at room temperature.…”

“…[911] In patients who present with unilateral symptoms, 38–50% were reported to have positive electro diagnostic test results in the asymptomatic, contralateral hand. [12] CTS is the most common entrapment neuropathy, with a prevalence of 10–20% for symptoms in the population-based studies. [13] Space-occupying lesions are known to cause CTS and the incidence of space-occupying lesions in unilateral CTS is higher than that in bilateral CTS.…”

“…Viele heben hervor, dass diese elektrodiagnostische Untersuchung ein sensibles und objektives Diagnosewerkzeug ist [Dumitru et al, 2002, Kimura 1989, Padua et al, 1996. Manche erachten die Untersuchung der Nervenleitgeschwindigkeit bei der Stellung der richtigen Diagnose für notwendig [Corwin, Kasdan 1998, Haig et al, 1999. Andere behaupten dagegen, dass die klinischen Symptome des KTS besonders in der Anfangsphase ohne die Störung der Nervenleitfähigkeit auftreten können [Carlson et al, 2010, Chang et al, 2000, Lundborg et al, 1982, Rankin 1995, Szabo et al, 1999 und aus diesem Grund finden sie diese Untersuchung bei der Stellung einer treffenden Diagnose für überflüssig [Braun, Jackson 1994, Finsen, Russwurm 2001.…”
