One of the most important points was the last paragraph of the article: "[Nerve conduction velocity] testing showed only 70 percent sensitivity among subjects with a diagnosis of CTS based on history and physical examination and a high rate of false-positive results (approximately 76 percent). Practitioners need to recognize these limitations and work to overcome them." "
