Patient-Reported Disability Measures Do Not Correlate with Electrodiagnostic Severity in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Electrophysiologic studies including electromyography and nerve conduction studies play a role in the evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), despite evidence that these studies do not correlate with CTS-specific symptom scores.

Axillary nerve conduction changes in hemiplegia [PDF]
Aim To prove the possibility of axillary nerve conduction changes following shoulder subluxation due to hemiplegia, in order to investigate the usefulness of screening nerve conduction studies in patients with hemiplegia for finding peripheral neuropathy.

Muscle action potential scans and ultrasound imaging in neurofibromatosis type 2 [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The neuropathy in patients with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is difficult to quantify and follow up. In this study we compared 3 methods that may help assess motor axon pathology in NF2 patients.

Nerve Conduction Studies of Peripheral Motor and Sensory Nerves in the Subjects With Prediabetes
Background: Prediabetes is a condition in which the fasting blood glucose is elevated above normal levels but not high enough to be classified as diabetes mellitus. There is clear association between sensory polyneuropathy and diabetes mellitus.

Nerve conduction studies and EMG in carpal tunnel syndrome: Do they add value?
Highlights • CTS is an association of symptoms and signs, assumed to be caused by median neuropathy at the wrist (MNW).• NCS are currently the best way to document the severity of MNW and contribute to CTS diagnosis.• NCS can assist the choice of ...
