Abstract

The prevalence of CTS in third trimester pregnant women in the study in 28 per cent. With the use of NCS it was able to detect nearly 80 per cent of them who had no symptoms or signs. There was no association between the level of vitamin B6 or B6 deficiency and CTS. Since CTS may result in a permanent disability if undiagnosed or left untreated it is essential to make an early diagnosis and treat it especially older women and those who are edematous.
