What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the relationship between the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and the quality of sleep in affected patients, comparing their findings with healthy controls. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition caused by the compression of the median nerve, leading to symptoms such as pain and numbness, particularly at night. The study will assess sleep quality using established metrics to understand how CTS impacts patients' daily lives and sleep patterns. By identifying this relationship, the study seeks to clarify the mechanisms linking CTS and insomnia.
