The CTS-6 Evaluation Tool is a widely used and reliable instrument for the assessment of diagnosis and symptom severity in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome.\n\nIn this study, the CTS-6 will undergo translation and cultural adaptation to ensure linguistic and cultural appropriateness for the Turkish population. The goal is to produce a valid, reliable, and practical tool that can be used efficiently in clinical settings. The adapted version is intended to be applicable across multiple medical specialties involved in the diagnosis and management of carpal tunnel syndrome in Turkey. The results are expected to provide a trustworthy Turkish version of the CTS-6 suitable for both clinical practice and research purposes.",[25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32],"Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)","Median Nerve Entrapment","Peripheral Nerve Disease","Peripheral Nerve Disorder","Reliability and Validity","Cross-cultural Adaptation","TURKISH VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY OF CTS-6 EVALUATİON TOOL","Diagnostic Tool",[34,35,36,37,38,39,32,40,41,42,43],"CTS-6 Evaluation Tool","CTS-6","Cross-cultural adaptation","Carpal Tunnel Syndrome","median nerve entrapment","reliability and validity","Peripheral nerve disease","Peripheral nerve disorders","Turkish version","Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of CTS-6 Evaluation Tool","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-02-12",{"date":47,"type":48},"2026-02-19","ACTUAL",{"date":50,"type":21},"2026-03-01",{"date":52,"type":21},"2026-07-01",{"name":54,"class":55},"Istanbul University","OTHER"]
