Chockalingam said, the research team plans to launch "a structured clinical trial using a gold-standard tool such as
nerve conduction testing to confirm which simple screening method best detects neuropathy."
Furthermore, night splinting alone markedly reduces symptom severity detected by
nerve conduction testing and also increases functional ability of the hand compared with that of no treatment (level of evidence, 2b).
[4] Early work yielded a higher sensitivity of sensory
nerve conduction testing than studies of motor axons.
Subject 8 continued to have a positive Tinel's sign at the left ulnar nerve at the wrist and elbow suggestive of a left ulnar abnormality, however,
