Zusammenfassung
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve disorder. Despite its frequency, the exact pathophysiology remains elusive. It is, however, commonly accepted that CTS affects the large nerve fibres, induces non-inflammatory changes and is driven by mechanisms that remain localised to the lesion site. Clinical diagnosis therefore largely relies on local tests for the large fibre domain such as standard electrodiagnostics, vibrometry or von Frey hair testing within the median nerve territory. In this review, the current beliefs and resulting clinical guidelines are challenged by summarising novel…
