Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between different ultrasonographic indices used in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and the level of tactile sensation. The primary questions the study aimed to answer are: • To what extent are the ultrasonographic parameters used in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome related to the level of sensory complaints in the patient?
