About this Research Topic
Among all the entrapment syndromes, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common followed by cubital tunnel syndrome. The sonographic diagnostic criteria have been well established in carpal tunnel syndrome but still appear inconsistent regarding others. In addition to diagnosis, ultrasound guided intervention has significantly improved the treatment success. However, there is lack of consensus regrading which ultrasound guided approaches or regimens are the best for certain nerve entrapment syndromes.
Therefore, in consideration of the emerging use of ultrasound on peripheral nerve diseases, we welcome any type of contribution (original researches, reviews, perspectives, etc.), investigating the aforementioned issues. Contributions from the research areas relevant to use of ultrasound in diagnosis and treatment of peripheral nerve entrapment syndrome are welcome.
