Article Synopsis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) lacks standardized diagnostic criteria, making it hard to establish effective care protocols and compare clinical research findings.
- A systematic review identified key diagnostic criteria and outcome measures used in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) on CTS, focusing on studies from 2006 to 2019.
- The findings revealed that while symptoms like paresthesia are common diagnostic criteria, there is significant heterogeneity across studies, with the Boston Questionnaire being the most utilized tool for outcome measurement.
