To determine the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in a general population restricted area middle part Italy.Prospective study to identify cases CTS, newly diagnosed on basis clinical symptoms and delay distal conduction velocity median nerve. In 8-year period from 1991 1998, were identified by electromyographic services Siena Local Health District No. 7 Tuscany (Italy). This has 120,000.In period, 3,142 (79.7% women 20.3% men; mean age, 55 years; range, 13 97 years) identified. The...
The objectives of this study were (1) epidemiological analysis traumatic peripheral nerve injuries; (2) assessment neuropathic pain and quality life in patients affected by neuropathies. All consecutive with a diagnosis neuropathies from four Italian centres enrolled. Electromyography confirmed clinical level site injury. evaluated disability scales, screening tools, tests. 158 for total 211 analysed. brachial plexus was frequent injury (36%) the radial, ulnar, peroneal most commonly...
A prospective study of electrophysiological examination and the Boston self-administered questionnaire (BQ) was carried out in patients with surgically-treated carpal tunnel syndrome. There were 104 hands 93 (13 men 80 women, mean age 56 years). The BQ used to assess severity symptoms function, nerve conduction studies done before surgical release by short incision at palm, follow-ups 1 6 months after surgery. score improved or became normal 98% hands. scores distal sensory motor velocities...
To measure the cross-sectional area (CSA) of median nerve by ultrasonography (US) before and after surgery in subjects with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), to verify whether normalization presurgical parameters can be predicted CSA values.Sixty-seven consecutive cases, mean age 60.5 years, underwent surgical decompression. Before surgery, clinical electrophysiological severity self-assessment symptoms (using Boston questionnaire, BQ) were recorded. CSAs measured proximal inlet (CSA-I), at...
Abstract This is a multicenter study on peroneal mononeuropathy (PM), in which multidimensional protocol was performed to evaluate (1) the predisposing factors and their occurrence; (2) relationships between etiological, clinical, neurophysiologic findings; (3) disability quality of life (QoL) wide sample with PM. Clinical evaluation all patients; moreover, group adopted validated QoL measurements obtain more comprehensive reliable data From November 2002 January 2004, 69 patients were...
In a follow-up of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) after pregnancy, the Italian CTS Study Group prospectively studied 63 pregnant women with multiple measurements symptoms. Fifty-four percent symptoms during pregnancy had 1 year later. Patients onset early are less likely to improve delivery.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients are known to show gender‐related differences in severity. The main aim of this cross‐sectional study was determine whether these between women and men may be related age, education or body mass index (BMI) two populations, one with idiopathic CTS not treated surgically the other by surgical decompression. A secondary check results genders population. non‐surgical population consisted 172 subjects (126 46 men, mean age 55.1 years) whose data were obtained...
