简要总结
The purpose of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the home exercise program in patients who develop Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
详细描述
Materials and Method: Thirty-three patients with CTS (mild to moderate) were included to randomized, single-blind, controlled clinical trial. Based on EMG results and clinical examination, patient group was divided two part as mild and moderate CTS (group 1) and normal (group 2). The Sick Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire form was filled in face-to-face method.
Cases in this study: Patients who had pain and numbness problems at the hands of the Bezmiâlem Vakif University Polyclinic for Women and Obstetrics were then directed to the Bezmiâlem Vakif University Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Policlinic. After the examination and clinical testing of each patient (Tinel test, Phalen's test, Reverse Phalen's and Durkan's Carpal Compression test), the patients were directed to Bezmiâlem Vakif University Neurology Policlinic. Based on electromyography (EMG) results and clinical examination, the group was classified as mild and moderate CTS (group 1) and normal (group 2). A disease exercise form was distributed for all patients to do exercises.

主要结局
Sick Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire
时间窗: Patients were evaluated before treatment and 1 month after the birth.
It is a test consisting of two parts evaluating symptom severity (BSSS) and functional capacity (BFCS). BSSS consists of 11 questions for symptoms. In each question there are five different answers with scores between 1 and 5. The average score is obtained by dividing the total score by the number of questions. High score indicates severe symptom. BFCS consists of 8 questions for functional capacity. Again, there are five different answers in each question, ranging from 1 to 5. The average score is obtained by dividing the total score by the number of questions. The high score indicates that the functional capacity decreases. The questionnaire has been validated and tested for Turkish society (15). The questionnaire has been validated and tested for Turkish society (16).
