Other Diagnostic Studies[edit | edit source]
Nerve Conduction Studies[edit | edit source]
- Indicated if suspected median nerve compression
- Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) decreased in 70% of cases; high PPV, but sensitivity low
Positive Median Nerve Block/or Steroid Injection[edit | edit source]
- Can be used to confirm suspected diagnosis of CTS
- Simultaneous steroid injection is therapeutic as well as diagnostic
- Significant risk complications (nerve atrophy or necrosis): should only be performed by an expert
