Role of Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Conditions: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Registration Number: NCT04976998
• Lead Sponsor: Sohag University

Brief Summary

This prospective study aims to evaluate the median nerve in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by high-frequency ultrasound and color Doppler in comparison with clinical and Nerve conduction studies.

Detailed Description

This prospective study aims to evaluate the median nerve anatomical changes in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome by high-frequency ultrasound and color Doppler in comparison with clinical and Nerve conduction studies physiological changes to determine the efficacy of ultrasound to diagnose and determine the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome.
