Clinical Trial Summary

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

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

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS)	Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) scale is a clinical-based tool for identifying pain and patients with predominant neuropathic mechanisms.	7 minutes
Primary	Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire	It is a questionnaire used to evaluate symptom severity and functional status in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome.	12 minutes
Primary	Q-DASH	Q-DASH uses 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms in people with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb.	10 minutes
Secondary	Proprioception Assessment	Hand grip sensitivity will be measured with a dynamometer and hand pressure sensitivity will be measured with a Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback (SBP) instrument.	7 minutes
Secondary	Visual Analog Scale	Evaluates the severity of pain, scoring between 0-10.	2 minutes
