Effect of "normal" versus "mild carpal tunnel syndrome" electrodiagnostic report on surgeon decision and patients clinical outcomes.

Introduction: There exist conflicting electrodiagnostic reports between diagnosing mild carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and normal results, depending on the interpretation methods used by electrodiagnosticians. This underscores the necessity for precise clinical guidelines. This study aims to assess how the variation between mild and normal electrophysiological reports impacts (1) subsequent clinical outcomes in patients diagnosed with CTS and (2) physicians' decision-making.

Urban parks affect soil macroinvertebrate communities: The case of Tehran, Iran.
