The Relationship of Vitamin B6 Status to Median Nerve Function and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Among Active Industrial Workers

In this series of 1,000 cases of carpal tunnel syndrome (888 patients) there is a statistically significant incidence of bilaterality in patients with cervical arthritis. There is also a statistically significant increase in the incidence of diabetes mellitus over the general population. These findings lend further support to Upton’s Double Crush hypothesis. Further, the double crush syndrome predisposes to bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and may be an important prognostic factor. It may also be an explanation for some of the failures following carpal tunnel surgery and lead surgeons to look for other associated systemic diseases or mechanical blocks, when attempting to alleviate recalcitrant symptoms.

The Relationship

Over a five-year period (1981–1985), nine patients on haemodialysis developed carpal tunnel syndrome. Five patients, following biopsy of synovium in the carpal tunnel or biopsy of thickened epineurium of the median nerve, were found to have amyloid deposits in the soft tissues. The relationship between this condition, dialysis arthropathy and long-term haemodialysis is reviewed. In addition, in this small group of patients no relationship to the side of the fistula has been demonstrated and two patients developed recurrent problems despite initial open decompression of the carpal tunnel.
