The mobility (transversal movement) of the median nerve is decreased in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients and can be measured non-invasively by ultrasound. To date, there are few prognostic features to help predict the outcome of two commonly performed treatments, surgical carpal tunnel release (CTR) and corticosteroid injections. This study aimed to assess the changes in nerve mobility after the intervention and to correlate this with treatment and disease severity. A total of 181 CTS patients with different electrophysiological severities were recruited and assessed by dynamic ultrasound scanning of the median nerve before and after treatment. The dynamic ultrasound images were collected while performing finger and wrist flexion. For both injection and CTR, the nerve displacement increased with wrist flexion, from 7.0 (±2.4 SD) to 7.9 (±2.7 SD) mm (p<0.005). Patients who underwent surgery showed bigger improvement (p<0.005) in nerve mobility compared to injection patients. We also observed that the increase in nerve mobility was predominantly in patients with more nerve damage at baseline. The present study shows that the dynamic behavior of the median nerve changes in response to treatment and lays a foundation for future studies to assess the prognostic potential of nerve mobility measurement.
