Higher quality occupational healthcare for CTS is associated with improved symptoms, function, and health.

This study assessed whether quality was also associated with healthcare costs or disability over 18 mo among 343 adults.

Adherence to overuse measures was associated with lower costs (up to −$4549). Adherence to underuse measures was associated with higher costs (up to $3672). Quality was not associated with disability.

Improving quality could increase or lower costs, depending on baseline underuse and overuse.

Repaired nerve injuries can fail to achieve functional recovery. We tested whether dual administration of FK506 and E-stim further enhance regeneration and recovery. Two sets of rats nerve injury and repair models were measured for outcomes of early nerve regeneration and functional recovery. While dual administration of FK506 and E-stim showed minimal additive effects compared to either therapy alone in regeneration or recovery, the concurrent use of both therapies ensured earlier functional recovery and decreased variability in outcomes.
