dc.description.abstractObjective: Boston Questionnaire (BQ) is a method, which is used for assessment of severity of symptoms and functional status in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between electrophysiological findings and scores of BQ including functional capacity and severity of symptoms. In addition, the effect of body weight on this relationship was investigated. Methods: 98 consecutive patients, who were referred to our electrophysiology laboratory with prediagnosis of CTS and had no systemic disease such as diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, and thyroid disease, were included this study. A detailed neurological examination was performed to all patients. Median and ulnar nerve conduction studies were carried out. The patients with Body Mass Index (BMI) exceeding 30 were considered obese. BQ was applied to all patients. Results: There was a weak but a significant correlation between the results of the nerve conduction studies and the functional capacity scores. This correlation was not found in obese patients. No correlation between symptom severity scores and the findings of nerve conduction studies was determined. Conclusion: In the literature, there are a small number of studies that investigated the relationship between BQ scores and electrophysiological findings. The relationship was detected at some of there where as was not at remainders. In our study, even though the results of the nerve conduction studies were found to be correlated with functional capacity scores, there was no correlation between symptom severity scores and nerve conduction study findings. Although this relationship was found to be more significant in the non-obese patients, no relationship was observed in obese patients. (Archives of Neuropsychiatry 2010;47:237-40)en_US
