Incidence of pregnancy-related carpal tunnel syndrome with advancement of parity

Mariyam Afaq, Nazia Ishrat, Gul Ar Navi Khan.


Abstract
Background: Pregnant women are at a risk of developing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). It is the most common mononeuropathy of the median nerve which is at risk of compression due to its location. The median nerve is present in the carpal tunnel at the wrist joint level. The median nerve gets compressed which leads to its hampered conduction, affecting the conduction velocity and latency of the nerve adversely as recorded by the electrodiagnostic technique. The chances of compression of the nerve are increased with the number of pregnancies a female goes through in the reproductive span of her life.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze any positive association between parity status and incidence of pregnancy-related CTS (PRCTS) in pregnant women.

Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 75 pregnant females, recruited from the obstetrics ANC clinic JNMCH, AMU were screened for PRCTS through the electrodiagnostic technique in the neurophysiology laboratory, Department of Physiology, JNMCH, AMU. Out of these 75 pregnant females, 36 (48%) were found to be positive for PRCTS.

Results: Among the 36 PRCTS-positive pregnant females, 26 were found to be multiparous, whereas 10 were primiparous.

Conclusion: The study found a very strong association (statistically significant) of multiparous pregnant females with PRCTS.

Key words: Pregnancy; Pregnancy Related Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; Parity; Electrodiagnostic Technique
