Objective.
Sleep disturbances are common in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
This study investigates the impact of CTS on sleep quality and clarifies the magnitude of this relationship.
Methods.
This is a prospective investigation of patients with CTS.
Patients responded to the Levine-Katz Carpal Tunnel and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires to assess symptom severity and quality, respectively.
Descriptive and bivariate analyses summarized the findings and assessed the correlations between CTS severity and sleep quality parameters.
Results.
66 patients (53F, 13M) were enrolled.
Patients reported a sleep latency of 30.0 (±22.5) minutes, with a total sleep time of 5.5 (±1.8) hours nightly.
Global PSQI score was 9.0 (±3.8); 80% of patients demonstrated a significant reduction in sleep quality (global PSQI score >5).
Increased CTS symptom and functional severity both resulted in a significant reduction in quality and time asleep.
Both significantly correlated with subjective sleep latency, sleep disturbance, use of sleep promoting medications, daytime dysfunction, and overall global PSQI score.
Conclusions.
The findings confirm the correlation of sleep disturbances to CTS, that is, significant reduction of sleep duration and a correlation to sleep quality.
Patients sleep 2.5 hours less than recommended and are at risk for comorbid conditions.
