腕管综合征是一种正中神经卡压性神经病，可引起神经病理性疼痛。本研究的目的是评估CTS患者的神经病理性疼痛、上肢功能和电生理之间的关系。对34例确诊为CTS的患者进行正中神经末梢潜伏期测定，并填写日本外科学会手版本手臂、肩和手功能障碍问卷(DASH-JSSH)，作为患者上肢功能的评估，疼痛检测作为神经病理性疼痛的评估。终末潜伏期与疼痛检测评分、终末潜伏期与DASH-JSSH评分均无显著相关性。然而，疼痛检测和DASH-JSSH评分之间存在显著的相关性。神经病理性疼痛影响CTS患者的上肢功能。
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an entrapment neuropathy of the median nerve, and CTS can cause neuropathic pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between neuropathic pain, function of the upper limb, and the electrophysiology in patients with CTS. The terminal latency of median nerve was measured in 34 patients diagnosed with CTS, and they were asked to fill out the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Hand version of the Disability of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire (DASH-JSSH) as the patient's assessment of the function of upper limbs and pain DETECT as an assessment for neuropathic pain. There was no significant correlation between the terminal latency and the pain DETECT score, or the terminal latency and the DASH-JSSH score. However, there was a significant correlation between the pain DETECT and DASH-JSSH scores. Neuropathic pain affects the function of the upper extremities in patients with CTS.
