article 1 Citação(ões) na Scopus AVALIAÇÃO DA SENSIBILIDADE CUTÂNEA EM PACIENTES COM SÍNDROME DO TÚNEL DO CARPO RELACIONADA À HEMODIÁLISE(2011) NAKAMOTO, Hugo Alberto; TUMA JUNIOR, Paulo; MILCHESKI, Dimas Andre; FERREIRA, Marcus CastroObjective: The aim of this study is to describe the use of the PSSD (Pressure specified sensory Device) for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: The PSSD is a tool that incorporates a pressure transducer with two prongs, linked to a computer capable of measuring the cutaneous pressure thresholds. The patients were divided in two groups: Group 1- patients neither with superior limb neuropathy nor renal insufficiency. Group 2- patients with carpal tunnel syndrome related to hemodialysis. Group 2 - patients with carpal tunnel syndrome but no renal insufficiency. Results: The results showed, for two of the four parameters measured, that the group 2 had more benefits for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome than group 3. Conclusion: The PSSD is useful as a diagnostic tool in hemodialysis-related carpal tunnel syndrome Level of Evidence: Level II, development of diagnostic.
