Key Words	Carpal tunnel syndrome; Nerve; Compression neuropathy; Median nerve; Scoring
Core Tip	The use of our simple scoring method can help determine if patients with carpal tunnel syndrome need nerve conduction studies. Patients scoring less than 8 may have mild or moderate carpal tunnel syndrome and in these patients we recommend the use of nerve conduction studies. In patients scoring 8 or more, we do not recommend the use of nerve conduction studies for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome.
