Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Participants will undertake validation of the median nerve and their anxiety and depression levels. Possible correlation will be searched.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Medical students of the University of Ioannina will be submitted to ultrasound of the medial nerve as to assess its surface. Those with pathological findings will undertake a non-interventional electromyography test. Afterwards they will complete anonymously two validated tests regarding depression and anxiety (Yung ans STAI scales). Statistical analysis will be conducted with the question of correlation between median nerve dysfunction and psychiatric disorders.
