Abstract
- Some very poor results after carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) surgery are difficult to explain. The main hypothesis of this study was that a relationship exists between self-efficiency toward pain and the difference between pre-operative and post-operative pain. The secondary hypothesis was that a relationship exists between self-efficiency toward pain and the pre-operative and post-operative QuickDASH score. The records of 64 patients operated for purely subjective CTS were reviewed. The evaluation consisted in determining self-efficacy beliefs from two PSEQ2 questions (1: I can still accomplish most of my goals in life, despite the pain; 2: I can live a normal lifestyle, despite the pain), pain levels and the QuickDASH score. There was an inversely proportional relationship between the pre-operative PSEQ2 and pain on one hand, and post-operative pain and the pre-operative QuickDASH score on the other hand. We found no correlation between the pre-operative PSEQ2 and post-operative QuickDASH score. Self-efficiency beliefs as measured by PSEQ2 help to predict pain levels after surgical CTS treatment in the absence of sensory and/or motor deficits and/or associated morbidity.<br /> (Copyright © 2016 SFCM.
