This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonographic measurements of the median nerve in patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS). While ultrasound is a common diagnostic tool, various physical factors can influence its results. The researchers will investigate how a patient's absolute body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) affect the size of the median nerve cross-sectional area across different stages of disease severity. The goal is to determine if absolute body weight plays a 'masking' role that could lead to more precise diagnostic interpretations in clinical practice.
