Study Summary
The diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is typically based on clinical findings and confirmatory electrodiagnostic testing. However, electrodiagnostic testing can only assess large A-alpha and A-beta nerve fibers. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a series of tests used to assess small nerve fiber changes in the A-delta, c-fibers, and A-beta nerve fibers as well. Previous studies have used QST to assess small nerve fiber changes related to carpal tunnel syndrome and found changes compared to controls. This study will utilize a course of standard physical therapy care and assess for any changes to small nerve fiber activity and how those changes may or may not relate to patient outcomes.
Primary Outcome
QST is a test method that measures sensory thresholds for temperature sensations, touch, vibration, and pain and is described in section 10.1. All thermal testing (CDT, WDT, CPT, and HPT) will be performed via the TSA 2 Thermosensory Stimulator.
