Symptom Distribution and Pain Sensitization in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

NCT07114913 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2025-08-11

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to compare central sensitization parameters between carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients with extra median symptom distribution and those with typical, median nerve-related symptoms. Extra median sensory spread, observed in some CTS patients beyond the anatomical boundaries of the median nerve, may reflect central sensitization mechanisms. Using the Central Sensitization Inventory and pressure pain threshold measurements, this study will assess whether extra median symptom patterns are associated with increased central sensitization.

Conditions

  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • Central Sensitisation
  • Pain, Radiating

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 is used to measure deep muscular tissue pain sensitivity.
