Do you use the contralateral nerve as a point of reference?
Thank you for your presentation. How small was the smallest sample size in your literature review and what was the largest sample size? This would be helpful for future studies to be done in order to improve the validity of the study.
You state that the use of ultrasound to look at nerve inflammation and response was done in few studies but what was the result is unclear. Was inflammation noted on the affected side ?
