This retrospective pilot study was undertaken to help determine the usefulness of measuring sensory nerve action potential and mixed nerve action potential temporal dispersion in median neuropathy at the wrist (MNW; i.e., carpal tunnel syndrome). The records were reviewed for 34 patients who were re...
