Ultrasonic Assessment of Females with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Proved by Nerve Conduction Study

Table 2

The descriptive statistics for CSA of MNs of patients and controls at the carpal tunnel inlet.

Sample	No. of wrists	CSA (mean ± SD)	95% Confidence interval for mean		Minimum	Maximum
			Lower bound	Upper bound
Patients with CTS	63	13.11 ± 3.074	12.33	13.89	8.10	20.00
Control	80	6.87 ± 1.041	6.64	7.10	4.50	8.80
P value		<0.001

CSA: cross sectional area of median nerve, CTS: carpal tunnel syndrome, SD: standard deviation.
