In 80 upper extremities clinically suspected of carpal tunnel syndrome, electromyography (EMG) was performed and the Phalen and Tinel signs were sought. These two signs showed relatively low sensitivity (60-67%) and specificity (59-77%) despite a statistically significant association with the EMG findings. These two signs are not reliable as clinical criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome.
在80例临床怀疑患有腕管综合征的上肢病例中，进行了肌电图（EMG）检查，并检查了Phalen征和Tinel征。尽管这两种体征与肌电图检查结果存在统计学上的显著关联，但其敏感性（60 - 67%）和特异性（59 - 77%）相对较低。这两种体征作为腕管综合征的临床标准并不可靠。
