Carpal Tunnel Syndrome - Diagnosis

How is carpal tunnel syndrome diagnosed?

Nerve conduction study is frequently done to confirm the diagnosis. It usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes and does not require anaesthesia. During the test, small and safe doses of electric currents are delivered to stimulate the nerves in order to assess their function.

A peripheral nerve ultrasound may also be done to confirm nerve compression.
