Brief Summary:
To assess the role of ultrasonography and SE in detecting the median nerve changes before progression to CTS in patients with RA
Detailed Description:
Rheumatoid arthritis RA presents with persistent pain stiffness progressive joint destruction functional disability and progressive morbidity and mortality and is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease1 The cause of RA remains unknown but the pathological mechanism of synovial inflammation may result due to the complex interplay of genetic immunology and environmental factors2 Early diagnosis is fundamental to prevent the permanent sequel of RA Recent advances in diagnostic imaging in rheumatology have benefited patients clinically and also provided information related to the pathophysiology of diseases like arthritis
Ultrasound US and magnetic resonance imaging were most commonly used in diagnosing and monitoring RA progression in joints and related joint structures3 US elastography measures tissue elasticity using high-frequency sound waves to assess tissues static or dynamic deformation behavior after a stimulus is applied This technique has been described most commonly in the context of isotropic tissues such as the liver and neoplastic diseases but is now becoming of more interest in anisotropic tissues such as those in the musculoskeletal system4
