Translation and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the 6-Item Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms Scale and Palmar Pain Scale Questionnaire Into Brazilian Portuguese.

Background: There are several medical questionnaires to evaluate the quality of life of carpal tunnel syndrome patients. However, most measures are only available in English. We chose to translate and culturally adapt to Portuguese the Six-Item Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Symptoms Scale and Palmar Pain Scale (CTS-6) questionnaire because it provides objective assessment using a small number of questions.
