This controlled objective and subjective study aimed to evaluate the relationship between insomnia severity and electrodiagnostic findings in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
Twenty-one patients with an established clinical and electrodiagnostic diagnosis of CTS before surgery were included. Sleep characteristics were monitored objectively over 4 to 9 nights by means of actigraphy. On the following morning, participants completed a sleep log that conveyed their subjective impressions of how they had slept. All patients also completed the Insomnia Severity Index questionnaire. The correlation of these findings with patients' motor latency and sensory latency was evaluated using Spearman correlation analysis.
We found no correlation between sensory or motor latencies and all sleep measures.
Electrodiagnostic findings and sleep severity in patients with CTS appear to be independent measures, and they do not correlate with each other.
本对照的客观和主观研究旨在评估腕管综合征 (CTS) 患者的失眠严重程度与电诊断结果之间的关系。
21 例患者在手术前均通过临床和电诊断确诊为 CTS。通过活动记录仪客观监测 4 至 9 晚的睡眠特征。次日早晨，参与者完成睡眠日志，记录他们对睡眠的主观印象。所有患者还完成了失眠严重程度指数问卷。使用 Spearman 相关分析评估这些发现与患者运动潜伏期和感觉潜伏期之间的相关性。
我们发现感觉或运动潜伏期与所有睡眠测量值之间均无相关性。
CTS 患者的电诊断结果和睡眠严重程度似乎是独立的测量指标，彼此之间不相关。
