The value of neurological examination in CTS seems limited. In this study, we investigated the interobserver agreement in case history of CTS and the potential additional value of neurological examination.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Case history was taken and neurological examination was done in all patients referred for a possible CTS during a 6-month period.

Neurological examination rarely changed this diagnosis, suggesting a prominent role for the case history and a limited role for neurological examination.
