Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether needle evaluation added any important clinical information to normal nerve conduction studies in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndromes. DESIGN:Retrospective review of electromyography (EMG) done with the referring diagnosis of possible carpal tunnel syndrome. SETTING:Outpatients seen for EMG evaluation at one university hospital by a single electromyographer. PATIENTS:Consecutive sample of possible carpal tunnel syndrome patients. INTERVENTIONS:None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:We determined whether needle examination was abnormal when nerve conduction studies were normal. RESULTS:In patients in whom only carpal tunnel syndrome was suspected, normal nerve conduction studies predicted that EMG would be normal 89.8% of the time (p = .0494). Testing based on a larger sample size might increase the predictive value. CONCLUSIONS:There may be a subpopulation of patients referred for carpal tunnel syndrome who may be adequately evaluated by nerve conduction studies alone. Additional studies will help evaluate whether this is so.
