Abstract
This study is Carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS) disorder of median nerve at wrist. It is usually diagnosed through clinical manifestation and Nerve Conduction Study(NCS). NCS of the median nerve before and after operation were compared in twenty four patient's with CTS, in order to seventeen patient's evaluate the prognostic value of that findings. Analysis result symptom profile of CTS in total number of patient's 17 (Female:17, Male:0), 21 hands (Rt:9, Lt:4, Both:4), Ages(31~60), Mean duration of symptom months($46.6{\pm}36.1$), Mean interval between 1st and 2nd NCS months($20.5{\pm}7.1$), Sensory symptoms(Tingling:21, Numbness:19, Noctunal paresthesia:17), Motor symptoms(Thenar atrophy:20, Trigger finger:2, Morning stiffness:3), Post-operative symptoms(Free:38.1%, >50% improve:52.4%, <50% improve:9.5%). NCS was normal range after operation than before in Sensory nerve conduction study 4 patients's and Motor nerve conduction study 5 patients. Surgery before and after Sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) responses showed improvement over the previous results. Forward by the patient's occupation and occupation patterns of CTS, other treatment methods and surgical treatment of CTS by comparing the degree of improvement to identify and correct nerve conduction study to judge whether the patient's operation.
