Relationship Between Compression Severity and Hand Dexterity, Sleep, Quality of Life, Neuropathic Pain, and Anxiety-Depression in Patients with Carpal and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome

Objective: Carpal and cubital tunnel syndromes are common entrapment neuropathies [1]. Some previous studies showed that carpal syndrome and, to a lesser extent, can impair sleep quality of life [2-4]. But there only few comparing these two [5]. However, no study, which evaluates hand dexterity, quality, life, neuropathic pain in relation the severity compression determined by Electroneurography (ENMG) both syndromes, could be found literature. Thus, it was aimed present study investigate relationship between pain, anxiety-depression symptoms with different levels patients clinically electro-physiologically diagnosed syndrome. Materials methods: This involved patients, who applied ENMG laboratory were18 years or older The sociodemographic clinical data agreed participate were recorded. classified as mild, moderate, severe using American Association Electrodiagnostic Medicine Classification [12] based on electrophysiological data, whereas classification performed electrodiagnostic grading system created Zeidman Pandey practice guidelines [13]. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [14,15] Epworth Sleepiness Scale [16,17] used evaluating EuroQuol-5D Life [18,19] for 4-item scale [20,21] Hospital Anxiety Depression [22,23] anxiety depression levels, 9-Hole Peg Test [24] dexterity. After forms filled in, having those compared statistically. Moreover, after staging them severe, findings groups within each group, their relationships investigated. Results: disorders, depression, disorders observed much more prevalent among CTS when CuTS increases together an increase disease. It also lag behind fine motor skills. Conclusion: should noted all parameters negatively affect patients. Early physiotherapy rehabilitation beneficial treatment contribute life.
