“…Another reason for nocturnal exacerbation may be the increased pressure of interstitial fluid due to lying in the horizontal position, which may decrease the lumen of the tunnel [ 4 ]. In consequence, patients with CTS show disrupted sleep cycles, increased levels of arousal, decreased sleep efficiency and reduced REM and slow wave sleep [ 5 ]. Insomnia may affect up to 80% of patients with CTS [ 6 ].…”

Purpose: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy, with paresthesias and pain in the hand and wrist. CTS is also associated with insomnia and excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) resulting from the nocturnal exacerbation of symptoms. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) was developed for the assessment of therapeutic outcomes. It consists of two subscales: the Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and the Functional Status Scale (FSS). The aim of this study was to perform an adaptation and validation of the Polish language version of BCTQ (pBCTQ). A second aim was to investigate the influence of treatment of CTS on insomnia and EDS. Methods: The validation of the pBCTQ followed the widely accepted recommendations. In our consecutive sampling survey 130 patients with CTS filled out the pBCTQ, EQ-5D-5L quality of life questionnaire, the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). 26 of them filled out pBCTQ once again, two weeks later, and 35 filled out the pBCTQ and other items after therapy. Results: The pBCTQ showed good internal consistency: 0.91 for SSS and 0.93 for FSS (Cronbach's α). The test-retest reliability showed an intraclass coefficient of 0.69 for SSS and 0.55 for FSS. Both subscales correlated also with nerve conduction studies (NCS) as well as with the EQ-5D-5L, AIS, and ESS. After therapy, both subscales and AIS significantly decreased. Improvement was also seen in the NCS and EQ-5D-5L, but not in the ESS. Conclusions: The pBCTQ is a reliable, valid, and responsive tool for measuring the outcome of CTS. Therapy for CTS leads to the improvement of concurrent insomnia but may not change daytime sleepiness.

This study examined whether sleep quality is associated with hand function above and beyond what can be explained by the effect of pain and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) severity on hand function in clients with CTS. The sample included 53 adults ages 30–86 yr. The Manual Ability Measure–20, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, visual analog scale for pain, and electromyography for CTS diagnosis and severity level were used to measure outcomes. Sleep quality was significantly associated with manual ability after controlling for CTS severity and pain. In CTS care, attention to sleep is significant because it may promote hand function.
