Overview
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Leeds Assessment Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS)
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 12 minutes
It is a questionnaire used to evaluate symptom severity and functional status in individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Secondary Outcomes
- Proprioception Assessment(7 minutes)
- Visual Analog Scale(2 minutes)
