Summary

This study looks at whether a person's body weight affects the accuracy of ultrasound for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome. Researchers will measure the median nerve size with ultrasound and compare it to standard nerve tests in 120 adults. The goal is to see if weight 'masks' the true severity, helping doctors make better diagnoses.

What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not change current practice, and results might not apply to all patients.
