Carnett's test for abdominal wall tenderness[1].

In the evaluation of abdominal pain, a positive Carnett's test may indicate that the abdominal wall is the source of pain.[1] [2]

In an uncontrolled case series of 1116 patients with Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome (ACNES), 87% had a positive Carnett's test[3].

A study of acute pain in the emergency department found no benefit from assessing the Carnett's sign[4].
