Brief Summary:
The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of bifid median nerve in patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome CTS and whether it has a higher prevalence in CTS patients than in asymptomatic individuals and to evaluate the characteristics of the bifid median nerve found and whether median nerve variations are predisposing factors in the development of CTS
Detailed Description:
Patients diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome electrophysiologically who applied to Etlik City Hospital physical therapy outpatient clinic will be included in the studyThere are no sensitive groupsThe research period was determined as 1 yearThe sample size was done using G Power 3194 statistical power analysis program for WindowsBased on the study conducted by Walker FO et al the number of patients that would provide a significant difference with a margin of error of 5 Type 1 and 20 Type 2 a study power of 80 and a confidence interval of 95 was found to be 129 patients in totalDemographic and clinical characteristics of patients who meet the inclusion criteria and fill out the Informed Consent Forum will be recordedGeneral pain of the patients will be evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale Global Pain symptom severity and functional status will be evaluated with the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire and hand grip strength measurement will be evaluated with a dynamometerThe patient hand diagram will be marked according to the patients sensory symptomsMedian nerve cross-sectional area will be measured at the pisiform level with ultrasound and distal motor latency and sensory nerve conduction velocity will be measured with EMG and recordedMedian nerve stiffness will be evaluated by real-time elastography
