- Abstract
In this presented report female patients suffering from carpal tunnel syndromes were examined. The disorders were detected during the preventive occupational examinations. Median nerve lesions were detected 11 times in 6 electro-winders (risk of the long-term one-sided overloading, category No. 3) with electromyographic examination. Distinct subjective symptoms relief occurred after 6 weeks of treatment with Wobenzym in most cases. During a control examination 6 weeks after the cessation of treatment with Wobenzym the healing effect lasted. The electromyographic examination after 6 weeks of treatment confirmed the distal motor latency improvement in 8 out of 9 cases. 6 weeks after ceasing the treatment the improvement of the distal motor latency lasted in 7 out of 9 cases. Changes in the velocity of sensitive conduction were not unambiguous. On the basis of these and previously documented experiences a systemic therapy may be considered as a therapeutic modality extending the list of conservative treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome methods or as a component of preventive beneficiary programs. However, verification in a more extensive study is desirable.
