- What it is
- A cross-sectional study of 291 patients with cervical radiculopathy that looked for carpal tunnel syndrome in the same patients and tested how often the two overlapped.
- How much weight it carries
- Peer-reviewed, single-center study. Because it began with patients who have a neck nerve problem, it shows how often the two conditions overlap in that group, not how common carpal tunnel syndrome is in the general population.
Facts taken from this source
