Decision Aid for Surgical Modality Choice

A novel decision aid that helps surgical patients choose between Wide-Awake carpal tunnel release and traditional tourniquet surgery. It involves an orientation-memory-concentration test to test if patients are cognitively capable of making decisions, then the decision aid table that has similarities and differences between the two modalities, and a few survey questions that help the investigators know what the patients prefer. Finally, patients finish the decision conflict test to see how confident these patients are about their preference.
