简要总结
The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between disease severity and sleep quality in CTS patients and to compare the findings with healthy controls.
详细描述
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common form of entrapment neuropathies. Anatomically, the roof of the carpal tunnel consists of carpal bones, it is located under the transverse carpal ligament, and there are 9 tendon packs of the forearm flexors and the median nerve. Clinically, sensory (paresthesia and hypoesthesia), motor deficits and pain occur in the distribution of the median nerve secondary to mechanical compression and local ischemia.
With the increase in the severity of the disease, entrapment neuropathy, whose symptoms are more pronounced at night, negatively affects the daily life of the person. Waking up at night due to paresthesia is one of the diagnostic criteria for carpal tunnel syndrome. However, the mechanism linking CTS with insomnia is unclear.
The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between disease severity and sleep quality in CTS patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: 2023.02-2023.05
Pain intensity was measured with visual analogue scale for pain (0-10 mm; 0 means no pain, 10 means severe pain) which is used to measure musculoskeletal pain with very good reliability and validity.
