The aim of this study is to investigate diagnostic accuracy of median nerve strain and applied pressure measurement . Idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome patients and healthy controls will be evaluated by ultrasound. Median nerve strain, pressure applied to the skin, and ratio of pressure-strain will be measured at the proximal part of the carpal tunnel. In addition, distal latencies in the motor and sensory nerve conductions studies and cross-sectional area of median nerve will be measured. The parameters will be compared between patients and controls, and before and after the open carpal tunnel release in the patients.
