About this study

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.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Being diagnosed with mild-moderate CTS
  • Being between the ages of 20-55
  • Volunteering to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proprioception Assessment

    Time frame: 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.

  2. Visual Analog Scale

    Time frame: 2 minutes

    Evaluates the severity of pain, scoring between 0-10.
