A Longitudinal fMRI Research on Neural Plasticity and Sensory Outcome of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Figure 3

Results of the correlation analysis between fMRI measurement and clinical assessment. (a) The post-presurgery difference of activated voxels in the right postcentral gyrus is positively correlated with the post-presurgery improvement of sensory latency of the left-wrist median nerve. The R square is 0.39. (b) The post-presurgery difference of activated voxels in the left postcentral gyrus is also positively correlated with the post-presurgery improvement of sensory latency of the right-wrist median nerve. The R square is 0.34.
