This study evaluates carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) symptom severity, functional status, and outcome of CTS therapies in patients with inherited neuropathies.
Validated questionnaires were used to compare symptom severity and functional status in patients with and without a diagnosis of CTS and a diagnosis of an inherited neuropathy.
309 patients with inherited neuropathies participated in this study. The CTS symptom severity score (SSS) was found to be the most useful tool in assessing CTS severity in patients with inherited neuropathy. Splint therapy and surgery were associated with significant improvement in carpal tunnel symptoms as measured through the SSS.
This study provides insight into the assessment of CTS symptom severity and patient-reported outcomes to CTS therapy in individuals with inherited neuropathies. The SSS appears useful for evaluation of CTS symptoms and patient-reported outcomes following CTS interventions in individuals with inherited neuropathies. Muscle Nerve 57: 388-394, 2018.
本研究评估了遗传性神经病变患者的腕管综合征(CTS)症状严重程度、功能状态和 CTS 治疗结果。
使用经过验证的问卷比较了 CTS 诊断和遗传性神经病变诊断患者的症状严重程度和功能状态。
309 例遗传性神经病变患者参与了本研究。CTS 症状严重程度评分(SSS)被发现是评估遗传性神经病变患者 CTS 严重程度最有用的工具。夹板治疗和手术与 SSS 测量的腕管症状显著改善相关。
本研究深入了解了遗传性神经病变患者 CTS 症状严重程度的评估和对 CTS 治疗的患者报告结局。SSS 似乎可用于评估遗传性神经病变患者 CTS 干预后的 CTS 症状和患者报告结局。肌肉神经 57:388-394, 2018.
