Disturbance of somatotopic spatial cognition and extra-territorial pain in carpal tunnel syndrome.

CONCLUSIONS: The static and moving two-point discrimination sensations signify the ability of tactile spatial acuity. Bilateral sensorimotor areas were activated in sites that were not the hand. Furthermore, the inferior parietal lobule in the left hemisphere, which synthesizes and integrates multiple sensations showed high activation. Our findings suggested that the mechanism of extra-territorial pain was associated with dysfunction of spatial cognition. PMID: 32250335 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
