To investigate whether effort-related dorsal forearm pain could be due to an increase of the intracompartmental pressure (ICP) in the dorsal forearm compartment, the normal range of the ICP at rest and during exercise was first determined in 11 volunteers using a wick catheter. The ICP at rest was 6 mm Hg (range, 2-11 mm Hg), and during exercise the pressure rose to about six times the resting level. Fourteen patients with pain in the dorsal forearm during exercise were similarly examined. In six patients the pressure at rest and/or during exercise was more than twice that of the normal persons or that of the healthy forearm. After fasciotomy four of these six patients were relieved of pain within three weeks, which might suggest a relation between ICP and pain.
为了研究与用力相关的前臂背侧疼痛是否可能归因于前臂背侧间室的室内压（ICP）升高，首先使用灯芯导管在11名志愿者中确定了静息和运动期间ICP的正常范围。静息时ICP为6 mmHg（范围为2 - 11 mmHg），运动期间压力升至静息水平的约6倍。对14名运动时前臂背侧疼痛的患者进行了类似检查。6名患者静息时和/或运动时的压力超过正常人或健康前臂压力的两倍以上。这6名患者中有4名在筋膜切开术后3周内疼痛缓解，这可能表明ICP与疼痛之间存在关联。
