The first article reporting the rising incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome in histotechnologists was written by Pearl Gervais and published in the Louisiana Society for Histotechnology newsletter in 1991. Following that article, the growing interest in the number of injuries within the profession prompted a nationwide survey of histotechnologists. The results of that survey appeared in the first part of a three part article published in the Journal of Histotechnology, 18:139,1995. The articles were written by a group of professionals from the University of Michigan. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) was used as the model for potential Cumulative Trauma Disorder (CTD).
