To present the clinical, epidemiological and socioeconomic characteristics of individuals with symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and depression.
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered to 100 patients diagnosed with CTS, and its relationship between anxiety and depression was investigated alongside the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients.
Depression was identified in 30.9% of the 68 patients, the majority of whom were women. The BDI scores were found to be significantly higher in patients with low socioeconomic status, poor nutrition, and smoking ( < 0.05). Furthermore, the frequency of depressive symptoms was found to be significantly higher in patients who had chronic low back and neck pain along with CTS, with regular use of analgesics, and who had previously undergone any surgery ( < 0.05).
Depression and anxiety are prevalent among individuals diagnosed with CTS. Effective treatment, including the management of comorbid depression and anxiety, is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
呈现患有腕管综合征(CTS)和抑郁症症状个体的临床、流行病学及社会经济特征。
对100例被诊断为CTS的患者进行贝克抑郁量表(BDI)测试,并结合患者的社会人口学特征调查焦虑与抑郁之间的关系。
在68例患者中,30.9%被诊断为抑郁症,其中大多数为女性。发现社会经济地位低、营养状况差和吸烟的患者BDI得分显著更高(<0.05)。此外,发现患有慢性腰颈疼痛合并CTS、经常使用镇痛药以及之前接受过任何手术的患者抑郁症状的发生率显著更高(<0.05)。
抑郁症和焦虑症在被诊断为CTS的个体中普遍存在。有效的治疗,包括对合并的抑郁和焦虑症的管理,对于实现最佳患者预后至关重要。
