Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the 6-item Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms Scale

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the 6-item Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms Scale

Clinical Trial Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the median nerve that usually cause numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. While definitive diagnosis is made with nerve conduction studies, the patient's history and physical examination findings lead the clinician to the diagnosis of CTS. Using factor analysis and item response theory methodology, Atroshi et al. developed a short 6-item version of the symptom severity scale to ease respondent burden while maintaining the psychometric properties of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire. It has been demonstrated that the 6-item CTS Symptom Scale has good reliability, validity and responsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the 6-item CTS symptoms scale for CTS.

Clinical Trial Description

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition that affects the median nerve that usually cause numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the hand and fingers. While definitive diagnosis is made with nerve conduction studies, the patient's history and physical examination findings lead the clinician to the diagnosis of CTS. The use of patient-completed disease-specific scales is increasing in clinical research and patient follow-up. Various scales have been developed to question symptoms related to hand problems. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire and the 6-item CTS Symptom Scale are the scales that have been shown to be used to assess symptom severity and for diagnostic screening. Using factor analysis and item response theory methodology, Atroshi et al. developed a short 6-item version of the symptom severity scale to ease respondent burden while maintaining the psychometric properties of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire . It has been demonstrated that the 6-item CTS Symptom Scale has good reliability, validity and responsiveness. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and construct validity of the Turkish version of the 6-item CTS symptoms scale for CTS. ;
