About

To determine the validity and reliability of the shorter version of the CTQ-SSS in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) undergoing nonsurgical management.

Enrollment: 50 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 60 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome based on clinical presentation and/or nerve conduction studies.
• Patients aged 18 years to 60 years old.
• Patients who are undergoing nonsurgical management for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with a history of hand or wrist surgery within the past 6 months.
• Patients with severe hand or wrist pain that would prevent completion of the outcome measures or interfere with their ability to participate in the study.

Trial design

50 participants in 1 patient group

Study Participants

Description:

This group will consist of at least 50 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome who are undergoing nonsurgical management. Participants will complete the shorter version of the CTQ-SSS and other functional measures, such as the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE). The validity and reliability of the CTQ-SSS will be assessed in this group using test-retest reliability and internal consistency analyses, as well as construct validity analyses comparing CTQ-SSS scores with other functional measures.
