Abstract

In a follow-up of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) after pregnancy, the Italian CTS Study Group prospectively studied 63 pregnant women with multiple measurements of CTS symptoms. Fifty-four percent of women with CTS symptoms during pregnancy had symptoms 1 year later. Patients with onset of CTS symptoms early during pregnancy are less likely to improve after delivery.
