Turkish Adaptation of the CTS-6 Evaluation Tool: A Validation and Reliability Study

The purpose of this study is to develop the Turkish version of the CTS-6 Evaluation Tool and to comprehensively assess its validity and reliability in the Turkish population. 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. In 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.
