Various treatment methods exist for this disease, but only a few reports have compared the effects of various treatments using objective indicators. This study analyzed the changes in electrophysiological parameters after carpal tunnel release.Methods: In patients planning to undergo surgical treatment for CTS, electrophysiological studies, including nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG), of both upper extremities were performed before and 6 to 8 weeks after mini-open transverse carpal ligament release and median nerve neurolysis.Results: After surgical intervention, the onset latency and amplitude of the sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) and the onset latency of the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) of the median nerve improved. Additionally, the grade of abnormal spontaneous activity in needle EMG of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB) and the severity of the electrodiagnostic study results significantly decreased after the intervention compared to the initial evaluation.Conclusion: This study shows that the onset latency of SNAP and CMAP, the amplitude of SNAP of the median nerve, and EMG findings in the APB can be useful electrodiagnostic parameters for postoperative monitoring in CTS patients.","PeriodicalId":440658,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrodiagnosis and Neuromuscular Diseases","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116659789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 28-year-old man reported painless and progressive wasting of the right arm for 6 months. On examination, there was visible wasting of the right biceps brachii muscle along with its slight weakness, depressed biceps jerk, and an impaired pinprick sensation in the lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve distribution. He described a history of a road traffic accident 14 months beforehand. Based on the history and clinical examination, the differential diagnosis included an isolated MCN injury, upper trunk plexopathy, lateral cord plexopathy, C5/6 radiculopathy, and monomelic amyotrophy involving the C5/6 myotomes on the right side. The results of nerve conduction studies and electromyography were consistent with chronic proximal MCN neuropathy (right). In cases of arm wasting without pain or numbness, MCN injury should be included in the differential diagnosis, even in the presence of good power of the elbow flexors. The importance of detailed history-taking and clinical correlation cannot be over-emphasized in such cases.","PeriodicalId":440658,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrodiagnosis and Neuromuscular Diseases","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131305717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyzed EDX parameters such as distal onset latency and the amplitude of median compound motor action potentials (CMAPs) and sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs).Results: Among 39 cases, 24 (61.5%) showed improvement of at least 1 grade, based on Bland’s scale, after CTR. Follow-up EDX studies were performed 6 to 36 months after CTR. Improvement on Bland’s scale was shown in 50% of patients who received follow-up EDX studies at 6 and 12 months after CTR and in all patients who received follow-up at 24 and 36 months. The EDX parameters showed significant recovery. Younger patients showed greater recovery of SNAP amplitude (p = 0.021, r = -0.369) after CTR. The preoperative severe group showed greater recovery of CMAP (both amplitude and latency) than the non-severe group (p = 0.011 and p = 0.038, respectively).Conclusion: We confirmed the effectiveness of CTR through EDX studies.

Epidural block is a non-surgical treatment used in patients with radicular pain to deliver drugs to the epidural space; it is generally known to be a safe method, but it can occasionally cause infection. Herein, we present a rare case of VO with severe neuromuscular complications that developed in a patient who underwent lumbar transforaminal epidural block for back pain. Imaging studies showed VO, multiple pyogenic abscesses, and compressive cervical myelopathy. Electrodiagnostic studies showed clear evidence of cervical myelopathy and polyradiculopathy. With early treatment using a multidisciplinary approach, including medical treatment, surgery, and comprehensive rehabilitation, recovery of motor weakness and functional improvement were achieved after 2 months of treatment. Electrodiagnostic studies are advantageous for localizing and determining the degree of neuromuscular damage following VO. A multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of VO could improve patients’ prognosis, functional ability, and quality of life.","PeriodicalId":440658,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrodiagnosis and Neuromuscular Diseases","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132556180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TOS can be classified into neurogenic TOS (NTOS) and vascular TOS. Congenital anomalies, such as cervical ribs and elongated C7 transverse processes, may be the cause of NTOS. NTOS can be subcategorized as either disputed NTOS or true NTOS. True NTOS, a very rare disease with a prevalence of about one in a million, is diagnosed by the weakness and atrophy of T1-innervated intrinsic muscles of the hand and corresponding electrodiagnostic abnormalities. We report a case of a 42-year-old patient, who presented with a 5-year history of clumsiness and 1 1-year history of weakness and atrophy in her right hand. The patient was diagnosed with true NTOS during comprehensive rehabilitation, which she received for left hemiplegia due to intracranial hemorrhage. Elongated bilateral C7 transverse processes were found on a radiological evaluation. True NTOS is often overlooked or mistaken for carpal tunnel syndrome, thus delaying the diagnosis and inevitably worsening outcomes. Therefore, an electrodiagnostic study is crucial for detecting true NTOS, rather than typical physical examinations such as the Roos stress test and Adson’s test.","PeriodicalId":440658,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electrodiagnosis and Neuromuscular Diseases","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131038997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
