The reference test with which the ultrasound is compared is the neurophysiological test (NPT).~The expected timeline for the study is to be performed between July 2020 and May 2023.
The main objective is to investigate the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), and among the secondary objectives, to establish the ultrasound parameters that are predictors of CTS in comparison with neurophysiological studies, attempting to standardize a protocol and reference values that determine the presence or absence of CTS. Finally, cost-effectiveness analysis is proposed.
