AbstractIntroduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a group of neuropathic symptoms regarding to the compression of median nerve which passing through carpal tunnel. There has been a great number of prevalence of CTS in Indonesia, which leads to decreasing quality of life, lack of work productivity, and increasing health cost. Analgesic treatments have been drug of choice for carpal tunnel syndrome for years. However, the effectiveness of the drug and the risk of adverse effect of drugs have always been an issue for analgesic use. An observational study on profile of analgesic drugs administration for carpal tunnel syndrome patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital SurabayaMethod: A descriptive observational retrospective study has been conducted to observe the profile of analgesic drugs administration, including type and dosage of drugs, classification of drugs, drugs administration route, early and advanced type of analgesics, and duration of analgesic administration. Sociodemographic data and clinical characteristics (main symptoms) of carpal tunnel syndrome patients are also included in this study.Results: Out of 202 subjects of this study, most patients are women (84,16%), the group age of 50-59 to years old, and the most frequent job is household wife (43,56%). The most common analgesic drugs used for carpal tunnel syndrome patients is 50 mg sodium diclofenac for 78 patients (38.61%). All of those subjects are administered with oral analgesic (100%). 185 patients (91.59%) are administered with analgesic combinations. The duration of analgesic usage are 7 days as an early analgesic in 82 patients (40.59%).Conclusion: CTS is a syndrome due to median nerve compression of the hand, Women, household wife, and age of 50-59 years old are found to be vulnerable to this syndrome. Analgesic drugs mostly used is 50 mg natrium diclofenac, orally, combined, with the period of 7 days for early medication

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the classification of CTS by the Phalen test with electromyography. Methods: Cross-sectional observational study. Patients at orthopedic outpatient clinic with carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated by the Phalen test and compared with the result of the electroneuromyography. Results: Sample of 33 patients, mostly women (87.9%). Most patients were already diagnosed with severe CTS by ENMG. The results of the Phalen test and the electromyography were equal in 26 of the 33 patients (78.8%). Conclusion: The Phalen test showed its applicability, since it had results similar to those of ENMG in most cases, especially in the most severe ones. The exam studied is a possible tool for the classification and recommendation of surgical treatment. Level of evidence IV, Retrospective observational study.

Thumb Motion

When carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), an entrapment neuropathy, becomes severe, thumb motion is reduced, which affects manual dexterity, such as causing difficulties in writing; therefore, early detection of CTS by screening is desirable. To develop a screening method for CTS, we developed a tablet app to measure the stylus trajectory and pressure of the stylus tip when drawing a spiral on a tablet screen using a stylus and, subsequently, used these data as training data to predict the classification of participants as non-CTS or CTS patients using a support vector machine. We recruited 33 patients with CTS and 31 healthy volunteers for this study. From our results, non-CTS and CTS were classified by our screening method with 82% sensitivity and 71% specificity. Our CTS screening method can facilitate the screening for potential patients with CTS and provide a quantitative assessment of CTS.
