OBJECTIVES
We undertook this study to examine the relationships between clinical symptoms as evaluated by Washington Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) and electrodiagnostic classification in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
METHODS
Eighty patients with unilateral CTS were included in this study. After diagnosis of CTS by electromyography, all patients completed a 10-item questionnaire (NPS).
RESULTS
A statistically significant correlation between total NPS score and severity of CTS was found (p=0.013, r=0.276).
CONCLUSION
The present study indicates that using NPS might be useful in evaluating the clinical outcome of patients with CTS.
目的
我们开展这项研究，以检验通过华盛顿神经病理性疼痛量表（NPS）评估的临床症状与腕管综合征（CTS）患者的电诊断分类之间的关系。
方法
本研究纳入了80例单侧CTS患者。通过肌电图诊断CTS后，所有患者均完成了一份包含10个项目的问卷（NPS）。
结果
发现NPS总分与CTS严重程度之间存在统计学显著相关性（p = 0.013，r = 0.276）。
结论
本研究表明，使用NPS可能有助于评估CTS患者的临床结局。
