Summary

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compression neuropathy. The compression of the median nerve occurs in the carpal tunnel and results in pain and other unpleasant sensations in hand and wrist. In more advanced stage, weakness and wasting of the thenar and other muscles innervated by median nerve occurs, which may lead to permanent impairment of manual performance. The Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire (BCTQ) is one of the most commonly used tools for monitoring of the disease progression and of the effect of therapy. Originally created in English, it has been translated into many languages and subsequently validated. Recently the Polish version has been created and the purpose of this study is to validate it.
