[Carpal tunnel syndrome: controversies regarding clinical and electrodiagnosis and its work-relatedness].
The diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) may be difficult because paresthesias and tingling in the upper limbs are commonly reported in the general population. These symptoms are poorly correlated with changes of nerve conduction studies of the median nerve. CTS should be diagnosed only when typical symptoms are associated with significant electrophysiological abnormalities. The association of CTS with work is highly controversial.
