Sensory conduction velocities of the median nerve before, during and after operation were compared in nine patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and four controls, in order to evaluate the prognostic value of the pre-operative and intra-operative findings. Sensory conduction velocity was higher after operation than before in all patients (mean difference 31.33%), but not in control subjects. One patient showed a dramatic increase of 157% immediately after decompression. Comparing the intra-operative with the post-operative findings all patients but one showed an increase of antidromic sensory conduction velocity (mean 44.37%), while in control subjects again minimal changes were found (mean –4.25%). The study confirms the high diagnostic value of the pre-operative antidromic sensory conduction velocity findings. However, the prognostic value of both pre-operative and intra-operative ASCV findings is low.

Lateralization of peripheral nerve conduction velocity was studied in right-handed men ( n = 40) and women ( n = 48). Sensory and motor velocities were measured in ulnar and median nerves of the right and left hands. In women, the mean sensory velocity was significantly faster in the left than the right hand. There were no significant right-left differences in men. The mean sensory velocity from the right hand was significantly slower in women than men, creating an asymmetric organization of sensory conduction in women. Estradiol in women and testosterone in men were suggested as playing a role in asymmetric and symmetric nerve conductions, respectively.
