Abstract

Introduction: CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment, which is due to median nerve compression in carpal tunnel in anterior portion of the wrist. PHALEN and TINEL tests are common clinical diagnostic tests. This study assessed sensitivity and specificity of Tine! and PHALEN tests. Material & Method: This is a descriptive study of patients who came to electro diagnostic center of Emam Reza hospital of Mashbad during 18months. E.M.G and N.C.V are standard diagnostic tests in the most articles and also our study. This study was done on 771 cases (1223 hands).Data were studied in validity table of clinical tests compare to Para clinical tests.Results: Our finding showed 86% sensitivity and 75% specificity for clinical tests. Most of patients aged 40-50 years. Female to male ratio was 7/1. % 30.5 was severe. % 40 of severe cases had Thenar atrophy. The most symptoms were paresthesia, pain, nocturnal hand paresthesia. There were 6 double crush syndromes.Conclusion: Concordant findings of PHALEN and TINEL tests have acceptable sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value but we also suggest other tests for exact diagnosis.
