A Study of Prevalence and Electrophysiological Evaluation in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Among Uka Tarsadia University Students – Observational Study

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The most prevalent compressive neuropathy affecting the upper 
extremities is carpal tunnel syndrome. There are several causes contributing to the etiology of 
this illness, including systemic, occupational, and anatomical aspects.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: In order to determine if nerve conduction velocity may be used 
as a diagnostic tool in cases of both symptomatic and asymptomatic carpal tunnel syndrome, 
as well as to investigate the connection that exists between BMI and the diagnosis of carpal 
tunnel syndrome.
METHODOLOGY: A total of thirty individuals, mostly employed at Uka Tarsadia 
University, participated in the nerve-conduction investigation. The Boston Questionnaire and 
Nerve Conduction Velocity were employed as measurement tools for outcomes.
RESULTS: Nerve conduction research studies have been undertaken on a total of 29 
recipients. The research study employed the Mann-Whitney U test, and the test's descriptive 
data indicates that there is no discernible difference between the symptomatic and 
asymptomatic NCS. As a result, the results of that research did not demonstrate a meaningful 
link between carpal tunnel syndrome and BMI. There was no discernible difference in NCS 
between the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups, which is according to the discoveries of 
nerve conduction due diligence.
CONCLUSION: This study's findings did not demonstrate a strong link between carpal tunnel 
syndrome and BMI. There was no discernible difference in NCS between the symptomatic and 
asymptomatic groups, according to the results of nerve conduction investigations.
