The Utility of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-6 for Predicting the Outcomes of Carpal Tunnel Release
Considering the cost of, discomfort with, and time required for nerve conduction testing, the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome-6 (CTS-6) is often used to determine the likelihood of the presence of carpal tunnel syndrome. We sought to determine whether the CTS-6, designed as a diagnostic instrument, could serve a dual purpose and predict the outcome of carpal tunnel release (CTR) based on postoperative changes in the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) score.The Responsiveness of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Upper Extremity and Physical Function in Patients With Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Upper Extremity (UE) and PROMIS Physical Function (PF) are increasingly referenced patient-reported outcomes. To interpret treatment effects with these patient-reported outcomes, investigators must understand magnitudes of change that represent clinically relevant improvement. This study assessed the responsiveness of PROMIS UE and PF in patients with cubital tunnel syndrome.
