dc.description.abstract | The purpose of the study was to determine whether abnormal median sensory nerve conduction among asymptomatic workers was predictive of future symptoms suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This was a prospective study involving 77 workers who were identified as asymptomatic cases with electrodiagnostic findings of median mononeuropathy compared to an age- and sex-matched control group. Follow-up was completed an average of 70 months later, and subjects who reported pain, numbness, tingling, or burning in the distribution of the median nerve, based upon a hand diagram, were classified as having CTS symptoms. The follow-up participation rate was 70%. Among subjects with abnormal median sensory latencies, 23% went on to develop symptoms consistent with CTS within the follow-up period, compared with 6% in the control group ( P = .010). Age and hand repetition were also risk factors for CTS, but the majority of asymptomatic workers with a median mononeuropathy do not become symptomatic over an extended time. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
