My mother who has a history of neckache radiating to right hand, is now going thru numbness in right hand for more than 3 months. The folloiwng report from EMG has the folloiwng details:
Interpretation:
Right median motor nerve has low amplitude, normal distal latency, normal conduction velocity and normal F-wave latency. Left median motor has normal amplitude, normal distal latency, normal conduction velocity and normal F-wave latency. Bilateral ulnar motor nerveshave normal amplitudes, normal distal latencies and normal conduction velocities and normal F-wave latencies. Right median sensory nervehas normal amplitude, prolonged peal latencyand slow conduction velocity. Left median sensory nerve from F2 and palm has normal amplitude, prolonged peak latency and normal conduction velocity. right ulnary sensory nerve has normal amplitude, normal peak latency, and normal conduction velocity. LEft ulnary sensory nerve from F5 and palm has normal amplitude, normal peak latency and normal condcution velocity.
Needle examination show above changes.
Impression:
This is an abnormal study.
Conclusion:
This study is suggestive of mild C5radiculopathyand severe median neuropathy at wristconsistent with the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome on right side. Further clinical correlation is advised.
Base don above report, I would like to have an opinion as to what treatment plan the patient has and what should be done about this condition. I will be very thankful for a detailed answer and treatmemt options.
Best Regards
Farhan
