Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of our study is to determine pain, sensation and electrodiagnostic findings in CTS; to examine its effects on activity and participation.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    50 patients aged 20-55 years diagnosed with mild and moderate carpal tunnel syndrome according to AANEM will be included. VAS, LANSS, Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (Symptom Severity Scale - Functional Status Scale), Q-DASH, hand grip sensitivity measurement, hand pressure sensitivity measurement will be applied to the participants. In order to examine the relationship between body structure and functions (Pain, Sensation, EMG findings) and activity and participation with the AMOS program, the maximum likelihood method will be selected and a structural equation model (SEM) will be established.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) [7 minutes]

      Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) scale is a clinical-based tool for identifying pain and patients with predominant neuropathic mechanisms.

    2. Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire [12 minutes]

      It is a questionnaire used to evaluate symptom severity and functional status in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome.

    3. Q-DASH [10 minutes]

      Q-DASH uses 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms in people with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Proprioception Assessment [7 minutes]

      Hand grip sensitivity will be measured with a dynamometer and hand pressure sensitivity will be measured with a Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback (SBP) instrument.

    2. Visual Analog Scale [2 minutes]

      Evaluates the severity of pain, scoring between 0-10.
