Abstract:
Objective:To compare the classification of CTS by the Phalen test with electromyography. Methods:Cross-sectional observational study. Patients at orthopedic outpatient clinic with carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated by the Phalen test and compared with the result of the electroneuromyography. Results:Sample of 33 patients, mostly women (87.9%). Most patients were already diagnosed with severe CTS by ENMG. The results of the Phalen test and the electromyography were equal in 26 of the 33 patients (78.8%). Conclusion:The Phalen test showed its applicability, since it had results similar to those of ENMG in most cases, especially in the most severe ones. The exam studied is a possible tool for the classification and recommendation of surgical treatment. Level of evidence IV, Retrospective observational study. Objetivo:Comparar a classificação pelo teste de Phalen com a eletroneuromiografia (STC) na STC. Métodos:Estudo descritivo transversal. Pacientes do ambulatório de ortopedia com STC são avaliados pelo teste de Phalen, cujo resultado é comparado ao resultado da eletroneuromiografia (ENMG). Resultados:Amostra de 33 pacientes, em sua maioria mulheres (87,9%). Maioria dos pacientes com STC grave pela ENMG. Os resultados do teste de Phalen e da ENMG foram iguais em 26 dentre os 33 pacientes avaliados (78,8%). Conclusão:O teste de Phalen mostrou ter sua aplicabilidade, pois teve resultados semelhantes aos da ENMG na maioria dos casos, principalmente nos mais graves. O exame em estudo se mostra uma possível ferramenta de classificação e indicação do tratamento cirúrgico. Nível de evidência IV, Estudo retrospectivo de observação.
