Tinel's sign
Tinel's sign (ti-nelz) n. a method for checking the regeneration of a nerve, usually in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Direct tapping over the sheath of the nerve elicits a distal tingling sensation (see paraesthesiae), which indicates the beginning of regeneration. [ J. Tinel (1879–1952), French neurologist]
