AB - ORIGINAL ARTICLE Electrodiagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Which Transcarpal Conduction Technique Is Best? Ming-Hong Chang, Yi-Chu Liao, Yi-Chung Lee, Peiyuan F. Hsieh, and Lu-Han Liu diagnosis provides an objective method of identifying and localizing Abstract: Transcarpal conduction techniques are commonly used to be supple- abnormal median nerve conduction over the wrist. Several electro- mentary techniques to distal sensory and motor latencies (DSL and DML) in the diagnostic techniques have been established as standard methods for electrodiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, which transcarpal the early diagnosis of CTS (AAEM et al., 1999a, b; AAN et al., conduction techniques, or combination of techniques, are the most sensitive for 1993; Jablecki et al., 1993, 2002a, b). However, the empirical the electrodiagnosis of CTS is unknown. To determine which transcarpal evidence supporting the use of different CTS electrodiagnosis tech- conduction technique is the most sensitive for the electrodiagnosis of CTS, we niques varies considerably in quality and consistency. prospectively conduct this study. Study subjects were 100 patients with CTS and The rating system proposed by the American Association of 50 controls. In addition to DSL and DML determinations, all subjects were Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) and by evaluated using four
