摘要
A 64-year-old, right-handed, retired woman presents with intermittent numbness, tingling, and burning pain in the three radial digits of both hands. She has had these symptoms for three months, and they awaken her several times each night. She has no atrophy of the thenar muscles. Sensation to light touch is intact. How should she be evaluated and treated?
