Over the last two decades, several diagnostic devices have been developed to assess patients with suspected carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). One such device is the Nervepace Digital Electroneurometer (NDE). At this time, however, the AAEM concludes that the current literature does not support the substitution of the NDE for standard electrodiagnostic studies in the clinical evaluation of patients with CTS.
