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

Table 3

The CSA of MNs for the different patient subgroups versus that of the control group (depending on the results of the nerve conducting study).

CSA at the tunnel inlet (mm^2)	Subgroups of CTS patients according to NCS			Control (𝑛=80)	𝑃 value
	Mild (𝑛=25)	Moderate (𝑛=27)	Severe (𝑛=11)
	10.26 ± 0.83	13.81 ± 1.62	17.86 ± 1.89	6.87 ± 1.04	<0.001

CSA: cross sectional area of the median nerve, CTS: carpal tunnel syndrome, NCS: nerve conduction study.
