ORTHODROMIC SENSORY STUDY IN NERVUS MEDIANUS OF HYPO THYROID SUBJECTS
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4
Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the Sensory Component of Median Nerve Conduction in subjects with hypothyroidism in comparison with normal individuals. MATERIALS AND METHOD: 30 Hypothyroid individuals in the age group of 18-40 yrs from Endocrinology O.P.D. Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai and 30 age matched Controls from Master Health Checkup O.P.D.Government Stanley Medical College, Chennai were recruited for the study. Nerve conduction study was done to assess the sensory component of median nerve. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Variables were compared using independent t-test. RESULT: In this study a significant number of hypothyroid patients showed nerve conduction abnormalities by electrophysiological examination. Latency difference was increased and sensory nerve conduction was delayed in hypothyroid patients. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed that sensory neuropathy is common in patients suffering from hypothyroidism. This peripheral neuropathy may be due to axonal degeneration or demyelination.
