Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is recognized as the most common type of neuropathies. Questionnaires are the method of choice for evaluating patients with CTS. Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (BCTS) is one of the most famous questionnaires that evaluate the functional and symptomatic aspeCTS of CTS. This study was performed to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Persian version of BCTS questionnaire. Methods: First, both parts of the original questionnaire (Symptom Severity Scale and Functional Status Scale) were translated into Persian by two expert translators. The translated questionnaire was revised after merging and confirmed by an orthopedic hand surgeon. The confirmed questionnaire was interpreted back into the original language (English) to check for any possible content inequality between the original questionnaire and its final translated version. The final Persian questionnaire was answered by 10 patients suffering from CTS to elucidate its comprehensibility; afterwards, it was filled by 142 participants along with the Persian version of the Quick-DASH questionnaire. After 2 to 6 days, the translated questionnaire was refilled by some of the previous patients who had not received any substantial medical treatment during that period. Results: Among all 142 patients, 13. 4 % were male and 86. 6 % were female. The reliability of the questionnaire was tested using Cronbach’ s alpha and Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Cronbach’ s alpha was 0. 859 for symptom severity scale (SSS) and 0. 878 for functional status scale (FSS). Also, ICCs were calculated as 0. 538 for SSS and 0. 773 for FSS. In addition, construct validity of SSS and FSS against QuickDASH were 0. 641 and 0. 701, respectively. Conclusion: Based on our results, the Persian version of the BCTQ is valid and reliable.
