Effects of Body Structures and Function on Actıvıty and Partıcıpatıon in Patıents wıth Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Completed

• Conditions: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Registration Number: NCT05983614
• Lead Sponsor: Kutahya Health Sciences University

Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS)	7 minutes	Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) scale is a clinical-based tool for identifying pain and patients with predominant neuropathic mechanisms.
Q-DASH	10 minutes	Q-DASH uses 11 items to measure physical function and symptoms in people with any or multiple musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb.
Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire	12 minutes	It is a questionnaire used to evaluate symptom severity and functional status in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proprioception Assessment	7 minutes	Hand grip sensitivity will be measured with a dynamometer and hand pressure sensitivity will be measured with a Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback (SBP) instrument.
Visual Analog Scale	2 minutes	Evaluates the severity of pain, scoring between 0-10.
