Summary

This study looks at how ultrasound images of the median nerve in the wrist relate to a person's ability to feel touch in carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure nerve size and texture with ultrasound and compare them to sensory tests like two-point discrimination. The goal is to see if ultrasound can help assess sensory complaints. The study plans to enroll 84 adults with confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome.
