Prognostic factors in carpal tunnel syndrome treated with a corticosteroid injection.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are motor neuron diseases. Sensory impairment is sometimes observed, and electrophysiological involvement has been described in the sensory nerves of SBMA patients. We hypothesized that a sensory nerve conduction study (NCS) ...
