Validity and Reliability of Thai Version Clinical Questionnaire for Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Clinical Trial

Official title:
Validity and Reliability of Thai Version of Kamath and Stothard Clinical Questionnaire for Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Clinical Trial Summary

The Kamath and Stothard clinical questionnaire for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a valid score for diagnosis of CTS. However it haven't been translated in to Thai version and the validity and accuracy of the Thai the Thai version have not been yet verified. The research team recognizes the importance and potential benefits of adapting this assessment for use within the Thai population.Therefore, we aim to conduct this research to translate the questionnaire from the original English to Thai and to assess its validity and reliability for diagnosing patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Clinical Trial Description

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a common condition among working and older adults. The incidence of the disease ranges from 7 to 19 percent in the general population, with an approximate rate of 99 cases per 100,000 population per year. Symptoms are typically associated with hand and wrist function. Patients frequently seek medical attention due to numbness or pain in their hands after prolonged, continuous use. Some individuals may experience persistent numbness or pain in their hands, significantly impacting their daily lives. In cases of prolonged symptoms, weakness of the thumb may also occur. The diagnosis is established through a comprehensive history and physical examination, with symptoms including numbness in the thumb and index finger, as well as the middle finger and the portion of the ring finger adjacent to the middle finger. Some individuals may experience pain, especially at night or in cold conditions, often aggravated by the use of the hands and wrists. The physical examination reveals a reduction in tactile sensations in the regions corresponding to the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger near the middle finger. In severe cases, weakness of the abductor pollicis brevis muscle or muscle atrophy in the thenar area may be detected. Confirmation of the diagnosis can be achieved through an electrodiagnostic study of muscles and nerves. Kamath and Stothard clinical questionnaire was developed to help clinician in the diagnosis of CTS, with score more than 5 the diagnosis can be achieve without needed for further electrodiagnostic test. However it haven't been translated in to Thai version and the validity and accuracy of the Thai the Thai version have not been yet verified. The research team recognizes the importance and potential benefits of adapting this assessment for use within the Thai population.Therefore, we aim to conduct this research to translate the questionnaire from the original English to Thai and to assess its validity and reliability for diagnosing patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. ;
