Electrodiagnostic studies can help confirm the clinical impression of CTS and cubital tunnel syndrome with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. These tests can provide valuable information regarding the exact point of nerve compression as well as the severity of damage. Differentiating these nerve entrapment syndromes from other conditions with similar clinical presentations can lead to effective therapy and can help predict response to treatment. The electrodiagnostic laboratory should employ the most current and sensitive techniques for obtaining optimal results, and the ordering physician should have a working knowledge of the principle involved in the tests to make best use of the resulting information.
电诊断研究能够以高度的敏感性和特异性，帮助确诊腕管综合征和肘管综合征的临床印象。这些检查可以提供有关神经受压的确切部位以及损伤严重程度的有价值信息。将这些神经卡压综合征与具有相似临床表现的其他病症区分开来，有助于实现有效治疗，并能预测治疗反应。电诊断实验室应采用最新且最敏感的技术以获得最佳结果，而开单医生应掌握这些检查所涉及的原理，以便充分利用所得信息。
