The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment.
Screening tests are usually administered to people without
current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain
diseases or conditions. History and physical are used to screen
for carpal tunnel syndrome. Electrodiagnostic testing is the
most accepted test for carpal tunnel syndrome. At this time,
there are no widely accepted special screening tests or
screening guidelines to detect carpal tunnel syndrome before
symptoms begin. - Reviewer: John C. Keel, MD - Review Date:
