• 2 other identifiers: INC6612U01TR001263
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 333
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about focal compressive median neuropathy at the wrist (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) and outcomes of therapies (e.g. conservative and surgery) in the upper extremities of patients diagnosed with an inherited neuropathy. All patients enrolled in the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) Inherited Neuropathies Consortium (INC) Contact Registry who have marked one of the following disorders: CMT1A, CMT1B, CMT2A, CMT4, CMTX, other known CMT peripheral neuropathy, other unknown CMT peripheral neuropathy, or Hereditary Neuropathy with liability to Pressure Palsies (HNPP), will be invited via email to participate in this online study.

Conditions

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome; Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease; Inherited Peripheral Neuropathy

Keywords

carpal tunnel syndrome; CTS; inherited peripheral neuropathy; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease; Hereditary Neuropathy; Pressure Palsies; CMT; HNPP

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ)

  The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) is a 19 item scale which was developed specifically for carpal tunnel syndrome and consists of 11 questions to assess symptom severity and 8 questions to assess functional status

  2 months

• The Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire

  30 item scale which assesses symptoms and physical function

  2 months

Study Arms (1)

INC Contact Registry

INC Contact Registry will complete the online questionnaires

Other: Web-based survey

Interventions

Web-based survey OTHER

This study protocol consists of one anonymous survey. Each participant can complete only one survey. The survey will take approximately 25 minutes to complete. The survey is designed to identify items that best reflect the symptom severity and functional status in patients with CTS and CMT. A unique link to the survey will be included in an email invitation distributed to all adult CMT or HNPP patients self-registered in the RDCRN INC Contact Registry. Upon clicking the link, the participant will be directed to the IRB-approved online consent form. Upon providing consent, the participant will be directed to the online survey.
