KORELASI KECEPATAN HANTARAN SARAF TEPI NERVUS MEDIANUS DENGAN DERAJAT KEPARAHAN CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME (CTS) MENGGUNAKAN GLOBAL SYMPTOM SCORE (GSS)

- Background. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the second most common occupational injury. Some studies mentioned that nerve compression will cause ischemic conditions and it changes nerve conduction velocity, also has correlation with clinical grading of CTS patients. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the correlation of nerve conduction velocity of nervus medianus with clinical grading of CTS using global symptom score (GSS). Methods. This study used analytical cross sectional approach. Data was collected by direct interview to assess degree of CTS severity based on GSS questionnaire and calculate the distal delta value of latency from ENMG as representative of the nerve conduction velocity. Result. From 28 research subjects, there was a correlation between correlation of nerve conduction velocity of nervus medianus with clinical grading of CTS using GSS in the Medical Rehabilitation Installation of Mohammad Hoesin Central General Hospital. Sensory conduction study has a significant correlation (p=0,000) with positive correlation direction and strength correlation (r=0.667) to total GSS score. Motoric conduction study has a significant correlation (p=0,048) with positive correlation direction and medium correlation (r=0,436) to total GSS score. Conclusion. There was a significant correlation between correlation of nerve conduction velocity of nervus medianus with clinical grading of CTS using GSS.
