    The compression of the median nerve within the carpal canal of the wrist and the progression of symptoms resulting from this entrapment is known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Nerve conduction studies have been used as a control electrophysiological method in the development of better CTS diagnostic techniques. [9]

    Abnormal parameters in multiple nerves or across all nerves in a given limb or multiple limbs may indicate damage to multiple nerves, polyneuropathy, or generalized nerve disease or damage, generalized peripheral neuropathy.

    There are no physical tests that can rule out or determine if a person has meningitis. [50] The jolt accentuation test is not specific or sensitive enough to completely rule out meningitis. [50] If someone is suspected of having meningitis, blood tests are performed for markers of inflammation (e.g. C-reactive protein, complete blood count), as ...
