Özet

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), the most common entrapment neuropathy, is graded as mild, moderate and severe. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between CTS severity and depression, anxiety, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. One hundred and forty-nine patients with a diagnosis of CTS were prospectively included in the study. There was a statistically significant difference between the painDETECT questionnaire, age, pain severity, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale, Boston CTS Symptom Severity Scale and Functional Status Scale scores and the severity of CTS (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the Epworth sleepiness scale and the severity of CTS (p<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between body mass index, Beck Anxiety, Beck Depression Score and CTS severity (p>0.05). We found an increase in daytime sleepiness in the severe type of CTS, which particularly affects hand functions and causes a decrease in the quality of life.
