Özet

Objective: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an entrapment mononeuropathy of the median nerve at the wrist. Recently, it was reported that in the entrapment neuropathies, which involved motor and sensorial fibers, autonomic impression might occur. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between electrophysiological severity of CTS and sympathetic dysfunction, using the sympathetic skin response (SSR).
