I don't think covering the fingers is necessary.

Someone here can try covered vs uncovered.

I would wait a couple of days however between tests.
my fingers that wrinkled showed signs for a couple of days.

My right hand was giving me Tinel's sign when I did it. So I have been wearing my brace at night. I plan on retesting that right hand when the buzzing is no longer present. Should be in a few more days. It might give a different result?

And wrinkling indicates no nerve damage?

Yes, wrinkling is the desired result. No wrinkling suggests nerve damage according to the study.

Well, I guess it worked for me. No wrinkling at all and I already know I have nerve damage...it reminds me all of the time.

Mrs. D, my husband (who definitely has no nerve damage) did the same thing as me...put a lot on one finger, covered it with a glove and waited. No wrinkling. I wonder if we're doing it wrong. I guess I'll try leaving it for 30 minutes uncovered today and see what happens. Also, we only each did one finger. I'll try a few more as you suggested in a pp. thanks
