Ultrasound examination predicts 6‐month progression in carpal tunnel syndrome patients

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a peripheral neuropathy resulting from chronic median nerve compression. Chronic compression leads to neurological changes that are quantified through nerve conduction studies (NCS). Although NCS represents the gold standard in CTS assessment, they provide limited prognostic value. Several studies have identified ultrasound as a tool in diagnosing and potentially predicting the progression of CTS in patients. The …
