Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study Participants

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.

Shorter Version of the CTQ-SSS

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The intervention in this study is the administration of the shorter version of the CTQ-SSS, a validated questionnaire designed to assess the severity of symptoms and functional limitations associated with carpal tunnel syndrome. The CTQ-SSS consists of 8 items related to symptom severity and 2 items related to functional status. The scores for each set of items are combined to generate symptom severity and functional status scores, which will be used to assess the validity and reliability of the CTQ-SSS in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome undergoing nonsurgical management.
