PURPOSE: Additionally to the typical @entity923 , the @entity1 of this study had @entity1389 . Other reasons for these symptoms than those caused by the compression of the median nerve could be excluded using medical examination or imaging techniques. Purpose of this study was to investigate whether decompression of the median nerve may reduce or even abolish the @entity1389 . METHOD: For this prospective study 378 @entity1 with @entity923 were clinically and electroneurographically examined, which was performed before and after (3 months) they underwent surgical decompression of the median nerve. RESULTS: 70 @entity1 (19 % of all @entity1 ) with @entity923 suffered from additional atypical symptoms such as @entity158 , @entity10 as well as neck and shoulder @entity158 . The diagnosis of @entity923 was made using clinical and electroneurographical examination. @entity923 of all @entity1 disappeared completely after surgery. Respectively, 61 % of those @entity1 with preoperative @entity1389 did also fully recover. CONCLUSION: This study shows that @entity1 with @entity923 may also suffer from @entity1389 . These symptoms have been shown to be associated with the compression of the median nerve. They may be caused by spinal synaptic interaction between sensory and sympathetic/parasympathetic neuronal pathways by somatically-induced reflex responses.
