%X objective: describe the use of the pssd (pressure specified sensory device) for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. methods: the pssd is a tool that incorporates a pressure transducer with two prongs, linked to a computer capable of measuring the cutaneous pressure thresholds. the patients were divided in two groups: group 1- patients neither with superior limb neuropathy nor renal insufficiency. group 2- patients with carpal tunnel syndrome related to hemodialysis. group 2 - patients with carpal tunnel syndrome but no renal insufficiency. results: the results showed, for two of the four parameters measured, that the group 2 had more benefits for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome than group 3. conclusion: the pssd is useful as a diagnostic tool in hemodialysis-related carpal tunnel syndrome level of evidence: level ii, development of diagnostic.
