Several therapeutic approaches are used to treat this syndrome, including conservative treatment, often used as the first line treatment. We here report the case of a 61-year-old female patient, presenting to the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology of the Specialty Hospital, Rabat, with moderate and bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome with sensory loss confirmed by electroneuromyography (ENMG).

Introduction: the validity of the upper limb neurodynamic tests and especially the upper limb neurodynamic test 1 for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome has been the subject of several previous studies.

Methods: we used the upper limb neurodynamic test 2A as the index test and nerve conduction studies as the reference standard.
