Ultrasound vs. symptoms: new study tests carpal tunnel diagnosis
NCT ID NCT06115187
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 46 people with carpal tunnel syndrome to see how ultrasound measurements of the median nerve relate to their symptoms and nerve test results. Researchers measured nerve size and appearance at different points in the wrist and compared them to pain scores and electrical nerve tests. The goal is to find out if ultrasound can be a reliable tool for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome.
