Disease relevance of Electrodiagnosis

METHODS: Prospective, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study of patients with clinical symptoms and signs of CTS, confirmed by standard electrodiagnosis [1].
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence of hyperreflexia in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), and its relation with electrodiagnosis of acute motor axonal neuropathy (AMAN), antiganglioside GM1 antibody, and Campylobacter jejuni infection [2].
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to determine if practice patterns in Washington State were altered by the development and publication of the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine practice parameter for electrodiagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow [3].

High impact information on Electrodiagnosis

CONCLUSIONS: Hand symptom diagrams, hypalgesia, and thumb abduction strength testing are helpful in establishing the [corrected] electrodiagnosis of CTS [4].
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Thirty patients with clinical signs and symptoms of CTS were recruited and the diagnosis was confirmed with standard electrodiagnosis [5].
Intraarterial secobarbital: muscle injury evaluated by electrodiagnosis in four cases [6].
The difference between pontomedullary and pontomesencephalic transmission time yields a variable that may prove a valuable adjunct in the electrodiagnosis of MS [7].
Electrodiagnosis at median occlusal position for human subjects with mandibular joint syndrome [8].

Biological context of Electrodiagnosis

The electrodiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is reviewed, including discussions of old and new techniques of motor and sensory nerve conduction, anomalous innervation, and needle electrode examination [9].

Anatomical context of Electrodiagnosis

Five of 65 patients referred for electrodiagnosis because of clinical evidence of carpal tunnel syndrome were found to have near normal latency on proximal stimulation of the median nerve, although the distal motor latency was prolonged [10].

Associations of Electrodiagnosis with chemical compounds

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Electrodiagnosis

A published systematic review found that electrodiagnosis was not a useful diagnostic test in patients with clinical signs of CTS [11].
