Investigation of the Relationship Between Pain Sensitization and Diagnostic Parameters in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

NCT06043141 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2025-09-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this observational, cross-sectional study is to investigate the relationship between pain sensitization and ultrasonographic and nerve conduction studies in patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Can threshold values be determined ultrasonographically and electrodiagnostically in patients who develop pain sensitization?
* Are pressure pain threshold values and central sensitization inventory scores correlated with ultrasonographic and nerve conduction studies of the median nerve?

Conditions

  • Central Sensitisation
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Nerve ultrasound

Ultrasonographic evaluation of the median nerve at the carpal tunnel and adjacent levels

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Nerve conduction studies

Upper extremity nerve conduction studies including median-ulnar sensory and motor responses

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Pressure pain threshold

Pain pressure threshold (PPT) is used to measure deep muscular tissue pain sensitivity.
