Opis:
In 1854 Paget described for the first time that carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) results from compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. CTS predominantly involves tingling and numbness in the typical median nerve distribution. Pain, described as deep, aching, or throbbing, occurs diffusely in the hand and radiates up the forearm. Atrophy of the muscles of the thenar is usually seen later in the course of the nerve compression. CTS is most frequent among persons between the ages of 30 to 60 and is two to three times more common in women than in men (peak prevalence in women older than 55 years). Carpal tunnel syndrome may affect 1% to 10% of the population. Incorrect diagnosis of CTS has been identified as one of the most common causes of CTS treatment failure. CTS should be diagnosed clinically. Electro-diagnostic studies are a standard method of establishing the diagnosis. Electrodiagnostic studies are performed to confirm the clinical diagnosis, to assess the severity of median nerve compression and to rule out more proximal compression sites. Abnormalities in nerve conduction study results can be the only objective evidence of carpal tunnel syndrome. Lack of objective data, such as ENG can lead to incorrect diagnosis and inappropriate treatment. Clinical diagnosis should be reinforced by valuable diagnostic tests: the Semmes–Weinstein monofilaments test – performed in neutral and Phalen’s positions, vibration threshold measured by means of tuning forks or a vibrometer, by observation of thenar atrophy and using provocative tests. The use of common, sensitive and specific diagnostic tests should improve decision making about patients referral for specific therapies, facilitate the performance of epidemiologic studies, increase the accuracy of diagnosis. The combination of a results obtained using various methods might be more powerful than a single test in establishing the diagnosis of CTS. The combination of hand diagram, questionnaires, abnormal sensibility, thenar weakness or thenar atrophy and positive provocative tests constitutes a sensitive and specific diagnostic tool to establish the diagnosis of CTS. Standardized clinical criteria for CTS would be an important step in reducing inconsistencies and misdiagnoses.

Opis:
ObjectivesTo evaluate: a) the prevalence of bilateral idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in manual workers; b) a correlation between the duration of unilateral and bilateral CTS symptoms; c) a correlation between the onset of CTS symptoms in the unilateral dominant/non-dominant hand and the time of developing bilateral CTS; and d) findings of the nerve conduction study (NCS) in symptomatic and asymptomatic hands of patients with unilateral CTS.Material and MethodsClinical and neurophysiological examinations were conducted along with a detailed analysis of job exposure of 332 manual workers admitted to the Occupational Medicine Department, the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, with suspected occupational CTS. Eventually, 258 patients were excluded from the study: 34 with associated neuropathies and 206 with other conditions potentially associated with CTS. Cases with work-related CTS (18) were also excluded.ResultsA total of 74 patients were diagnosed as idiopathic CTS. In idiopathic CTS, the right hand was affected in 15 (20.3%) patients, the left hand in 4 (5.4%) patients, and both hands in 55 (74.3%) patients. Symptoms duration was longer in the patients with bilateral CTS (4.01 years) than in those with a unilateral right (1.7 years, p = 0.002) or left hand condition (2.8 years, p = 0.313). Median nerve impairment at the wrist was revealed by NCS in 6 left and 2 right asymptomatic hands.ConclusionsThe findings of the study indicate the need for “alerting” patients with unilateral CTS about the risk of the disease developing in the contralateral hand. Therefore, NCS should be routinely performed in the asymptomatic hands of patients with unilateral CTS, which is essential for the prevention of neuropathies, especially among manual workers performing repetitive manual tasks.

Opis:
Objectives Association between carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and ulnar nerve entrapment at wrist remains controversial. The aim of the study has been to investigate the prevalence of Guyon’s canal syndrome amongst patients diagnosed with the CTS, occupationally exposed to repetitive wrist movements. Material and Methods The retrospective analysis of 310 patients (268 females, 42 males) representing the mean age of 52±7 years old hospitalized for the suspected occupational CTS was performed. Results In the analyzed cohort, 4 patients had undergone decompression of the Guyon’s canal in the right limbs. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) in the ulnar nerves performed during the hospitalization of those patients did not show any abnormalities. Nerve conduction studies revealed signs of the ulnar neuropathy (UN) at the wrist affecting exclusively sensory fibers for 6 patients. Only those 4 patients who had undergone the operation suffered from clinical symptoms of the UN before the surgery. In the case of the remaining patients, despite the NCS changes, signs suggestive of the UN at the wrist were not detected. In the case of the patients with the occupational CTS, no signs of the ulnar nerve dysfunction were recorded. Conclusions The frequency of ulnar nerve entrapment at the wrist among patients with the CTS is lower than that already reported. The low prevalence of ulnar involvement (3.2%) for the CTS patients in our study may be related to the relatively small number of the CTS hands with the severe changes in the NCS and/or other personal factor including anatomical variation of the Guyon’s canal borders and its contents.

Opis:
Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an increasingly widespread pathology occurring in patients from the age of 30 to 60. This illness is 2 to 3 times more common in women.Aim of the study: verification of whether there exists a dependence between the degree of CTS intensification evaluated on the basis of ENG testing and the patients’ clinical state evaluated as an intensification of subjective discomfort and functional ability.Materials and methods: 161 patients were tested (128 women and 33 men) who were being treated for CTS at a hospital clinic and a neurosurgical ward. In 49 patients the symptoms were bilateral in nature hence the combined number of all the tested cases was 210. The age of the patients at the moment of testing was from 25 to 81, the average being 55,2. The severity of CTS was evaluated by means of ENG testing while the intensification of the clinical symptoms was defined as the number of points obtained via the Levin questionnaire (the scale of symptoms SSS (Severity Status Scale) + the functional state scale FSS) as well by means of the VAS scale. Results: Patients with severe CTS obtained on average higher results in the full Levin questionnaire when compared to the group of patients with mild CTS. Through the aid of SSS significant statistical differences were shown in the intensification of subjective symptoms between a moderate and severe degree of CTS. The testing of symptom intensification of pain and/or numbness through the help of the VAS scale showed significant differences between the groups with mild and severe degrees of CTS as well as between the groups with moderate and severe.Conclusions: The result obtained through the help of the Levin questionnaire (BQ) as well as the result of self evaluation of pain and/or numbness through the VAS scale can reflect the degree of damage to the median nerve only in relation to CTS patients with severe disturbances in the ENG test.
Wprowadzenia: Zespól kanału nadgarstka (ZKN) jest coraz częściej rozpoznawaną patologia występującą najczęściej u pacjentów pomiędzy 30-60 rokiem życia. Schorzenie to 2 do 3 razy częściej dotyczy kobiet. Cel: Sprawdzenie czy istnieje zaleSność pomiędzy stopniem nasilenia ZKN ocenianym na podstawie wyniku badania ENG a ich stanem klinicznym ocenianym jako nasilenie dolegliwości subiektywnych i sprawność funkcjonalna. Materiał i metoda: Zbadano 161 chorych (12S kobiet i 33 mężczyzn) leczonych z powodu ZKN w poradni przyszpitalnej i na oddziale neurochirurgicznym. U 49 chorych występujące objaw}' miały charakter obustronny, tak więc łączna ilość wszystkich zbadanych przypadków wyniosła 210. Wiek chorych w chwili badania wynosił od 25 do 81 lat, średnio 55,2 lat. Ciężkość ZKN oceniono przy pomocy badania ENG a nasilenie objawów klinicznych określono jako ilość punktów uzyskaną przy pomocy kwestionariusza Levina (skala nasilenia objawów SSS + skala stanu funkcjonalnego FSS) oraz przy pomocy skali VAS. Wyniki: Pacjenci z ciężkim ZKN uzyskują średnio wyższe wyniki w pełnym kwestionariuszu Levina w porównaniu z grupa chorych z łagodnym ZKN. Przy pomocy skali SSS wskazano istotne statystycznie różnice nasilenia objawów subiektywnych pomiędzy umiarkowanym i ciężkim stopniem ZKN. Badanie nasilenia objawów bólu i/lub zdrętwienia przy pomocy skali VAS wykazało istotne różnice pomiędzy grupami o lekkim i ciężkim oraz grupami o umiarkowanym i ciężkim stopniu ZKN. Wnioski: Wynik uzyskany przy pomocy kwestionariusza według Levina (BQ) oraz wynik samooceny bólu i/lub zdrętwienia przy pomocy skali VAS może odzwierciedlać stopień uszkodzenia nerwu pośrodkowego jedynie w odniesieniu do chorych z ZKN z ciężkimi zaburzeniami w badaniu ENG.
