[Subjects] Clinical and electrophysiological data of 62 patients (124 hands) with a mean age of 49.09±10.5 years were evaluated in this study. [Methods] Sensitivity and specificity were calculated according to two threshold values (2.83 and 3.22) and two methods, a conventional method and an internal comparison method. A threshold value of 3.22 was also used to determine sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of electrophysiologically moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome. Data of the first three digits were averaged to reveal the mean strength value of the monofilaments for each hand. [Results] The criteria of 2.83-conventional method yielded a sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 17% in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. The threshold value of 3.22 using a conventional method was found to detect moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome with high sensitivity (80%) and excellent specificity (93%). A statistically significant difference was observed in the mean strength values of the monofilaments in moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome hands and hands without carpal tunnel syndrome. [Conclusion] The current study demonstrated that Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing might be a valuable quantitative method for detecting moderate-to-severe carpal tunnel syndrome.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":3.2188758248682006,"endowment":3.2188758248682006,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"26834344","pmcid":"PMC4713783","openalex_id":"https://openalex.org/W2293269242","authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":0.7348,"citation_percentile":0.73640348,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[{"year":2016,"count":1},{"year":2017,"count":1},{"year":2018,"count":1},{"year":2019,"count":4},{"year":2020,"count":1},{"year":2021,"count":4},{"year":2022,"count":3},{"year":2023,"count":2},{"year":2024,"count":2},{"year":2025,"count":4},{"year":2026,"count":1}],"oa_status":"gold","license":"cc-by-nc-nd","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jpts/27/12/27_jpts-2015-609/_pdf","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jpts/27/12/27_jpts-2015-609/_pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://doi.org/10.1589/jpts.27.3749","host_type":"journal"},{"url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26834344","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84951974434&partnerID=40&md5=d9413e2bf0ac0714ebc673d319994a93","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://goo.gl/sZgLUj","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcAuth=tsmetrics&SrcApp=tsm_test&DestApp=WOS_CPL&DestLinkType=FullRecord&KeyUT=ISI:000368605500029","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/11424/108312","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://hdl.handle.net/11424/245689","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"http://hdl.handle.net/11424/93362","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/4713783","host_type":"repository"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC4713783","host_type":"Europe_PMC"},{"url":"https://europepmc.org/articles/PMC4713783?pdf=render","host_type":"Europe_PMC"}],"fields_of_study":["Peripheral Nerve Disorders","Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation","Motor Control and Adaptation"],"mesh_terms":[],"keywords":["Carpal tunnel syndrome","Medicine","Carpal tunnel","Significant difference","Median nerve","Surgery","Internal medicine","Sensitivity and specificity","Semmes-weinstein Monofilaments"],"sdg_mappings":[{"sdg_number":0,"sdg_label":"Good health and well-being"}],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-01T10:25:40.743762Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
