What this trial studies

This study aims to translate the Kamath and Stothard clinical questionnaire for diagnosing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) into Thai and evaluate its validity and reliability. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a prevalent condition that affects hand and wrist function, often causing pain and numbness. The research will involve patients aged 18 and older who exhibit symptoms of CTS and have a confirmed diagnosis through electrodiagnostic studies. By adapting this tool for the Thai population, the study seeks to improve diagnostic accuracy and patient care.
