Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire ,BCTQ
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.The higher scores mean a worse outcome.
