title: [Carpal tunnel syndrome: electroneuromyographic study of 135 cases].
abstract: One hundred thirty five patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were studied trough electrophysiological techniques. Nerve sensory conductions, motor conductions and electromyography were performed in all patients and the results discussed. The authors call the attention for the technic of sensory conduction stimulating palma and picking up the potentials on the wrist as the most sensitive technic for the early detection of carpal tunnel syndrome.
