Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | United States: Institutional Review Board |
Study type | Observational |
This study will investigate how soon a patient's typing proficiency returns to their pre-operative levels following carpal tunnel release surgery. In order to determine this, patients will undergo typing tests at different time points that will record their typing accuracy and speed. The results will then be compared to determine on average how soon a person returns to their pre-operative baseline results.

Primary | Change in typing test measurements (speed and accuracy) | Each patient will complete a preoperative typing test (at their home) prior to undergoing carpal tunnel release surgery. The patient will then take the same typing test at the following time points postoperatively: 8-10days, 2wks, 3wks, 4wks, 5wks, 6wks, 8wks, 12wks. The change in speed and accuracy will be assessed by comparing the preoperative (baseline) typing test results to the postoperative typing test results. | Preoperative, Postoperative: 8-10days, 2wks, 3wks, 4wks, 5wks, 6wks, 8wks, 12wks | No |
