If conventional EDX was normal, compound nerve action potential (CNAP) test (peak latency and amplitude) was carried out. Patients with normal conventional EDX but abnormal ulnar CNAP included to our study. After 3 months, if they had not been treated for ulnar neuropathy, they were reexamined by conventional EDX plus ulnar CNAP measurement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In total, 18 patients (11 females, 7 males) aged 28\u201358 years old (mean = 40.11) were analyzed in this study.
