Tinels and Phalens tests Tinels and Phalens tests Tests like the Tinels sign and Phalens test may detect median nerve damage.If positive,they are highly suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).The tests are quick and easy to do,and are pain free.Your doctor should be very familiar with them.
The wrist flexion (Phalen) test is performed by having patients hold their wrists in extreme but unforced flexion for 1 minute. It is positive if the paresthesias are reproduced. As with the Tinel sign, the wrist flexion test is not invariably positive for CTS, but when it is, it helps substantiate the diagnosis. Another provocative test for CTS is the carpal compression test, in which pressure is applied directly over the carpal tunnel and the underlying median nerve.
