Comparative Analysis of Median Nerve Parameters for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) Diagnosis: Ultrasound Versus Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)

"This study involves two diagnostic interventions for evaluating CTS:~Ultrasound Examination (Diagnostic Intervention)~1. A high-frequency ultrasound probe will be used to assess the median nerve at the wrist.~2. Parameters measured include cross-sectional area, flattening ratio, and echogenicity.~The goal is to determine if ultrasound can accurately diagnose CTS compared to NCS.~NCS (Diagnostic Intervention)~1. Surface electrodes will be placed on the skin to stimulate and record median nerve conduction.~2. Parameters such as latency, conduction velocity, and amplitude will be recorded.~3. NCS serves as the gold standard for diagnosing CTS and will be used for comparison with ultrasound results.~Each participant will undergo both ultrasound and NCS, allowing researchers to compare their effectiveness in diagnosing CTS."
