Abstract

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral mononeuropathy and often requires one or more therapies including surgery. The results of electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies have been found to be highly sensitive and specific for the diagnosis of CTS. This document defines the standards, guidelines, and options for EDX studies of CTS based on a critical review of the literature.
