Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Detection of Its Severity

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.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Intervention / Treatment: Diagnostic test: imaging

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
anatomical changes in the median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome	compare the anatomical changes observed by ultrasonography in patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and comparing the results with clinical and nerve conduction studies results	imaging within 24 hours from the nerve conduction studies and clinical assessment of the patient
