Carpal tunnel syndrome causes shoulder pain.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that carpal tunnel syndrome causes shoulder pain?

Partly. One reference work states that when pain is the primary symptom, carpal tunnel syndrome is unlikely to be the source, while a small case series and a shoulder ultrasound study report shoulder pain in some CTS patients, though the ultrasound study found no significant difference from controls and the case series combined CTS with cubital tunnel syndrome. The evidence covers only part of the picture and points in both directions.
