| Pain. Timepoint: Six weeks. Method of measurement: The NPRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0–10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The common format is a horizontal bar or line. The NPRS takes <1 minute to complete Scores range from 0-10 points, with higher scores indicating greater pain intensity. The NPRS can be administered verbally (therefore also by telephone) or graphically for self-completion.;Functional Status. Timepoint: Six weeks. Method of measurement: The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) is a disease-specific measure of self-reported symptom severity and overall functional status. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Score is a patient-reported questionnaire that examines symptom severity and overall functional status of patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) with 11 questions is scored on a Likert scale of 1-5 and the Functional Status Scale (FSS) with 8 questions is scored from 1-5 with 1 as no difficulty and 5 as difficult.;Range of motion. Timepoint: Six weeks. Method of measurement: The term 'goniometry' is derived from the Greek words 'gonia' meaning angle and 'metron' meaning measure, therefore goniometry refers to the measurement of angles, which in rehabilitation settings refers to the measurement of angles in each plane at the joints of the body. The neutral zero method (0 to 180- degree system) is the most widely used method. The range of motion of each joint should be measured in isolation, to avoid trick movement (simultaneous movement of another joint) and muscle insufficiency which may alter the reading. | — |
