Background: Vitamin D deciency is a very common condition throughout the world and is known to be associated with many chronic systemic diseases. It has been shown to have neuroprotective effects in several studies. This study aimed to investigate the effect of vitamin D supplementation on pain, functional activity, and electrophysiological values in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: This study included a total of 50 patients (72 wrists) with vitamin D deciency and mild CTS. Pre-treatment and posttreatment pain levels of the patients were measured using visual analog scale and painDETECT questionnaire whereas the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire was used to assess the functional status. Furthermore, nerve conduction study was performed in all patients before and after treatment. Results: There was a signicant increase in post-treatment serum vitamin D levels compared to pre-treatment (p<0.05). A statistically signicant decrease was observed in the visual analog scale, painDETECT, and Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire scores after treatment compared to pre-treatment (p<0.05). Median nerve distal sensory latency and distal motor latency values decreased signicantly after treatment (p<0.05). Post-treatment sensory action potential and sensory conduction velocity values increased signicantly compared to pre-treatment values (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study shows that vitamin D supplementation improves pain scores, functional activity, and more importantly, electrophysiological ndings in carpal tunnel syndrome cases.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between anthropometric hand/wrist measurements and outcomes following static wrist splintage in patients with mild-to-moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Methods: Thirty nine patients with mild-to-moderate CTS were enrolled in this study. Anthropometric measurements of hand and wrist including wrist width, wrist depth, palm length, hand length, wrist ratio (wrist depth/wrist width) and wrist/palm ratio (wrist depth/palm length) were recorded as well as body mass index and ultrasonographic cross sectional area of median nerve. Patients were treated with static wrist splints and evaluated at 2nd, 4th and 12th weeks with Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, median nerve nerve conduction studies, Visual Analog Scale for pain and Likert Scale for numbness. Results: Following treatment with a static wrist splint, the wrist ratio was correlated significantly with improvements in Boston Functional Status Scale at the second and forth weeks (r = −0.354, p = 0.027 and r = −0.320, p = 0.050 respectively) and Visual Analog Scale at the forth and 12th weeks (r = −0.352, p = 0.030 and r = −0.360, p = 0.029 respectively). Conclusions: Splinting provides symptomatic improvement in mild-to-moderate CTS and this study suggests that the wrist anthropometric measurements may influence treatment outcomes.

ABSTRAKCarpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) adalah entrapment neuropaty yang paling sering terjadi pada pergelangan tangan. Selama tahun 2003 sampai 2005 terjadi peningkatan kasus CTS padakaryawan akibat gerakan repetitif pada penggunaan komputer dalam frekuensi yang sering dan durasi yang lama dari 76 kasus menjadi 112 kasus. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah bagaimana pengaruh ultra sound dan terapi latihan pada penderita carpal tunnel syndrome. Populasi penelitian ini adalah pasien penderita carpal tunnel syndrome di RSUP Dr. Kariadi Semarang sebanyak 10 pasien yang secara keseluruhan diambil sebagai sampel penelitian. Pengumpulan data didapat dari pemeriksaan nyeri dengan visual analog scale (vas). Visual Analoque Scale (VAS) sebagai pemeriksaan derajat nyeri. Hasil uji t menunjukkan Sig. = 0,000(<0,05), maka Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Hal ini berarti nyeri diam sebelum dan sesudah tindakan penggunaan ultra sound dan terapi latihan (free exercise, assisted exercise, assisterdresisted exercise dan resisted exercise) tidak sama. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan adanya pengaruh penggunaan ultra sound dan terapi latihan (free exercise, assisted exercise, assisterd-resisted exercise dan resisted exercise) terhadap nyeri pada kasus Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS).

ABSTRACT Introduction Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) was effectively treated by lots of conservative management that includes splints, exercise, different types of heat modality like ultrasonic therapy (UST), etc. This is our humble attempt to explore and find out electrophysiological improvement pattern after treatment with UST in CTS. This analytical study was conducted at the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR), Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research (IPGMER), SSKM Hospital, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, from January 15, 2012 to July 15, 2013. Materials and methods After getting Institutional Ethical Committee clearance, patients with symptoms of nerve compression at wrist were included in the study group according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Ultrasound treatment was administered 15 minutes per session for 15 days to the palmar carpal tunnel area at a frequency of 1 MHz and intensity of 1.0 W/cm2, pulsed mode, with a transducer of 5 cm2. The patients were examined after intervals of 2, 4, and 8 weeks postintervention. Results The results of our study suggest that there was marked improvement in all the clinical parameters. The same significant improvement was also found in electrophysiological parameter. Conclusion Ultrasonic therapy is one of the effective modalities of treatment for CTS.

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition seen commonly in clinical practice; high-flow arteriovenous malformations (AVM) can be a rare but important cause. Case Report: We discuss a case of a patient who had developed left CTS in the fifth decade of life as the result of a progressively enlarging congenital peripheral AVM affecting his left upper limb. This case illustrates the clinical challenges encountered in the surgical and interventional management of this complex issue. Discussion:High-flow AVMs affecting the extremities may be comprised of a convoluted network of vessels in high-flow, low-resistance systems that often recur despite intervention. Conclusion: Peripheral AVM affecting the hand can be a rare and therapeutically challenging cause of carpal tunnel syndrome that warrants multidisciplinary team discussion.

Abstract The present study focused on highlighting the pathology associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a susceptible neuropathy of the upper limb, its appearance being favored by the coexistence of other chronic pathologies. The study group consisted of 163 patients treated in the Plastic Surgery Clinic of the Emergency County Hospital in Constanţa, men and women of adulthood. The only exclusion criteria was non-compliant patients. The results were consistent with other studies published in the literature, with an over three times higher incidence of female sex. The decades of age most prone to the disease were the fourth, fifth, and sixth. Approximately one third of patients experienced bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. A particularly important presence of the triad was found: hygh blood pressure, obesity and diabetes mellitus, at least one of which was present in over 70% of patients. The etiopathogenicity of the carpal tunnel syndrome is becoming clearer, the “Golden Trio” dominating the clinical picture in most patients.
