Article Synopsis
- The study introduces new electrodiagnostic criteria to identify early reversible conduction failure (ERCF) in patients with axonal Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).
- Researchers analyzed nerve conduction studies from 82 GBS patients across three clinics and established specific criteria for detecting ERCF.
- Findings showed that 45% of patients exhibited ERCF, highlighting distinct patterns in nerve conduction abnormalities associated with the condition.
Objective: The neurophysiological confirmation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) relies on detecting abnormal median nerve transcarpal conduction in the presence of unaffected comparator nerves. We compare the palmar cutaneous median branch (PCBm) with the ulnar sensory nerve conduction to digit 5 (US(5)) as comparator nerves for diagnosing CTS.
Methods: In a prospective case control study of patients with clinically defined carpal tunnel syndrome and normal subjects, we determined and compared the PCBm and US(5) conduction velocity.
