“…26 In addition, a review hypothesized that manual therapy may inhibit CS mechanisms by reducing abnormal afferent input, inflammation, and oxidative stress. 27 In another study, including a number of 140 female patients with CTS, participants were requested to map the pain. 28 Among these patients, 124 reported extra-median symptoms; however, no relationship was determined between pain severity and clinical and psychological factors.…”

Aims: Expression of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) caused by the entrapped median nerve includes pain, paraesthesia and numbness. Extra median spread of pain can furthermore be seen as a clinical requirement defined by neuro inflammation. Central sensitization (CS) constructs a similar mechanism. This study aims to evaluate sensitization in patients diagnosed with CTS. Methods: A total number of 152 patients diagnosed with CTS were evaluated, prospectively. Patients data such as gender, age, body mass index (BMI), disease duration, pain severity (NRS), painDETECT questionnaire, Boston CTS symptom severity scale (SSS) and functional status scale (FSS), CS scale, electroneuromyography results have been collected by the author and then the patients are divided into three groups. Results: Regarding the age, BMI and CS rate, there was no statistical difference between the three patient groups (p>0.05). However, a statistically significant difference was found between these groups in disease duration, day-time and night-time NRS, Boston SSS, FSS, and pain DETECT scores (p0.05). Yet, statistically significant differences were found in a comparison of the patients with and without CS, in disease duration, NRS night scores, and painDETECT scores (p
