“…The main symptoms are pain and paresthesia and weakness may be seen at the distal wrist in some patients [1,2]. This disease is more frequent in women and clinical diagnosis will be confirmed by electromyography [3][4][5][6]. The main causes are obesity, pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid disorders and wrist deformities.…”

Objective: correlate between clinical and electrophysiological findings of carpal tunnel syndrome Methods: cross sectional study at outpatient setting.109 patients (83females, 26males) with clinical manifestations of carpal tunnel syndrome participated in the study.All the patients had the following: Medical history and neurological examination including Tinel's sign and Phalen test and nerve conduction studies including medianulnar, median -radial comparative studies and electromyography of both upper extremities.Results: mean age 57.71±13.4. pain was mild in 9.2%, moderate in 25.7% and severe in 56% of patients. Numbness was present in 87.2%. Impaired sensory exam in 43.1% Impaired motor exam in 8.3%. Positive Tinel's sign unilateral (38.5%) and bilateral (47.7%). Positive Phalen test unilateral (30.3%) and bilateral (34.9%). Unilateral thenar Muscle wasting in 4.6% and bilateral in 1.8%. Pure sensory median neuropathy was found in 65 patients (59.6%), sensory motor median neuropathy in 44 patients (40.37%). Demyelinating neuropathy in 91.7% and demyelinating-axonal neuropathy in 8.3% of patients.Abnormal distal motor latency was significantly correlated with severity of pain p=0.0025, impaired sensory exam p=0.0001, impaired motor exam p=0.0001, positive Tinel's sign of both hands p=0.0001, positive Phalen test of both hands p=0.0001. as well as with unilateral or bilateral muscle wasting p=0.001.Prolonged peak median sensory latency was significantly correlated with numbness p=0.0001, severity of pain p=0.001, Impaired sensory exam p=0.005, positive Tinel's sign for either one or both hands p=0.0001, positive Phalen test of one or both hands p=0.0001Conclusion: Highly significant correlation was found between subjective and objective sensory manifestation and peak median sensory latency. While distal motor latency were significantly correlated with severe pain, only bilateral positive Tinel's sign and Bilateral Phalen test and the objective sensory and motor deficit.

“…to mind. In a study investigating the the prevalence of CTS in women in Iran the most common findings in physical exam were Tinel sign (58.9%) and Phalen sign (50.9%) [7]. Again in Iran in another study Phalen and Tinel signs were positive in 82.2% and 71.1% of patients, respectively [8].…”

Objectives. The aim of the study was to examine the relation between clinical findings, neurological examination and electrophysiological studies in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and share our institutional experience in patients with CTS. Methods. Patients presenting with complaints of pain, paresthesia, and weakness in hands who diagnosed CTS between 2014 and 2015 were examined retrospectively. Demographic characteristics, clinical and neurological examination findings and electrodiagnostic evaluations were analyzed. Results. A total of 348 patients were included to the study. Weight and height measurements were significantly higher in patients with CTS on the right side (p=0.05 and p=0.04, respectively). Right hand side was the most dominant lateralization in patients with CTS (p=0.001) but there was no significant correlation for left side (p>0.05). The score of visual analogue scale was positively correlated with the severity of CTS (p=0.001). Thenar atrophy, hypoesthesia, positivity of Tinel and Phalen tests were also related to bilateral CTS (p=0.001 for each). Conclusion. We agree that clinical features, neurological examination findings and electrophysiological studies are effective diagnostic means in patients with CTS.
