Sonographic reference values of median nerve cross-sectional area: a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis

DiscussionA comprehensive set of normative reference values of median nerve CSA will reduce variability across studies, allowing future research to more accurately evaluate and establish diagnostic thresholds. Additionally, normative values can serve as a reference for evaluating treatment outcomes and provide a means to investigate and understand minor nuances in CSA changes that may be indicative of preclinical stages of median nerve pathology.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO 2016CRD42016037286
