Motor Nerve Conduction Studies in Newly Diagnosed Subclinical Hypothyroidism Patients

Dr. Divya Jaiswal | Dr. Preeti Rathi Dhankad


Abstract: AIM & OBJECTIVE- Present study was aimed to assess involvement of peripheral nervous system in newly diagnosed & untreated sub-clinical hypothyroidism patients. METHOD- The present study included subjects aged 18-65 yrs (60 cases of biochemically diagnosed subclinical hypothyroidism & 60 healthy age matched controls). Motor nerve conduction parameters i. e. distal latencies (DL), compound muscle action potential (CMAP) & motor nerve conduction velocities (MNCV) were recorded bilaterally in median & ulnar nerves using standard protocols & settings. RESULTS- The study showed significantly prolonged distal latencies (DL), reduced compound muscle action potential (CMAP) Amplitude & decreased motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) in median & ulnar nerves.


Keywords: sub-clinical hypothyroidism, median & ulnar nerves, motor nerve conduction Studies, compound muscle action potential CMAP,
