Abstract

Background: Regarding the high prevalence of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME and problems of NCV and EMG as standard diagnostic tests, and also with respect to the lack of empiric studies considering SENSORY EVOKED POTENTIAL, this study has been conducted to determine the efficacy of SENSORY EVOKED POTENTIAL in diagnosis of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME.Materials and methods: It was a clinical trial. First, SENSORY EVOKED POTENTIAL was performed on 100 normal hands. The mean difference between N20 latency of 3rdfinger with N20 latency of carp (median nerve territory) and then the mean difference between N20 latency of 3rd finger with N20 latency of 5th finger (ulnar nerve territory) has determined the upper limit normal, that was reported 6 ms and 1.5m.s, respectively.Results have explained as mean±3SD) Results above the mentioned figures have been considered as CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME. Then, those suspected individuals have undergone SENSORY EVOKED POTENTIAL to determine their disease. Finally a neurologist, who was unaware of diagnosis, achieved NCV and EMG (as gold standard diagnostic methods) and specified the definite diagnosis. Positive and negative predictive values of SENSORY EVOKED POTENTIAL were determined. Results: 61 hands of 46 patients have entered our study. The mean age was 36±8.08 years, and most of the patients were female. Positive and negative predictive value was 97% and 35.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Results have implied that SENSORY EVOKED POTENTIAL has satisfactory positive predictive value in diagnosis of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME, but whether the low negative predictive value seen in our study was due to few sample. or not seeks other studies with enough samples.
