Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire - Symptom Severity Scale (BCTQ-SSS)
The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Symptom Severity Scale (BCTQ-SSS) is a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome specific questionnaire that has been shown to be highly reproducible, internally consistent, valid, and responsive to clinical change in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) and subject status post-carpal tunnel release (CTR). The BCTQ consists of 11 symptom severity questions (BCTQ-SSS). Scoring for the BCTQ- SSS ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms, and is calculated as the mean of each response. The mean change score in BCTQ-SSS from baseline and 3-month follow-up are reported. Negative change scores indicate decreased symptom severity and positive change scores indicate increased symptom severity. Bilateral patients with both hands treated are reported based on their averaged score.
Time frame: Baseline and 3 Months
Time to Return To Normal Daily Activities (RTA)
Time to return to normal daily activities will be defined as the number of days between treatment and the time the subject reports returning to normal daily activities, irrespective of work status.
Time frame: 3 Months
Time to Return To Work Among Employed Subjects (RTW)
Time to return to work will be defined as the number of days between treatment and the time the subject reports returning to work in any capacity.
Time frame: 3 Months
Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire - Functional Status Scale (BCTQ-FSS)
The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Functional Status Scale (BCTQ-FSS) additionally consists of 8 functional status questions. Scoring for the BCTQ-FSS ranges from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating more functional limitation, and is calculated as the mean of each response. The mean change score in BCTQ-FSS from baseline to the 3-month follow-up are reported. Negative change scores indicate decreased functional limitation and positive change scores indicate increased functional limitation.

Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ)
Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) is a validated, hand-specific questionnaire consisting of 37 questions in 6 domains: * Overall hand function * Activities of daily living * Work performance * Pain * Aesthetics * Satisfaction The total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better hand performance; lower scores indicate lower hand performance. Mean change in the total MHQ score at the 3-month follow-up relative to baseline is reported.
Time frame: Baseline and 3 Months
Numeric Pain Scale
The Numeric Pain Scale measures pain severity. Scoring for the Numeric Pain Scale ranges from 0 (indicating no pain) to 10 (indicating worst pain possible). The mean change scores in the Numeric Pain Scale from baseline and 3-month follow-up are reported. Negative change scores indicate decreased pain severity and positive change scores indicate increased pain severity. Bilateral patients with both hands treated are reported based on their averaged score.
Time frame: Baseline and 3 Months
EuroQoL 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L)
The EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) is a generic preference-based questionnaire developed by the EuroQol Group to measure health-related quality of life. The EQ-5D-5L measures quality of life across 5 domains: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension is scored on a 5-level severity ranking consisting of: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, unable to/extreme problems. Scoring for the EQ-5D-5L ranges from -0.57 (indicating lowest quality of life) to 1.00 (indicating highest quality of life). The mean change score in the EQ-5D-5L from baseline to the 3-month follow-up are reported. Negative change scores indicate decreased quality of life and positive change scores indicate increased quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline and 3 Months
Number of Participants With Device and/or Procedure Related Adverse Events
Participants with adverse events (AEs) occurring within 90 days of treatment and that are adjudicated as definitely related or probably related to the device or definitely related or probably related to the procedure will be included in this endpoint. The number of device- or procedure-related AEs within 90 days of treatment will represent an endpoint of the study.
Time frame: 3 Months
Global Satisfaction
Subjects were asked to rate their satisfaction with the carpal tunnel release procedure. The global satisfaction scale ranges from 1 to 5, with 1 = Very Dissatisfied, 2 = Dissatisfied, 3 = Neither Satisfied nor Dissatisfied, 4 = Satisfied and 5 = Very Satisfied. The mean satisfaction score at the 3-month follow-up is reported. Bilateral patients with both hands treated are reported based on their averaged score. Higher scores indicate higher satisfaction; lower scores indicate lower satisfaction.
Time frame: 3 Months
