Abstract

This study examined the occurrence of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) in a group of 250 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) at Patna Medical College and Hospital's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Outpatient Department over 18 months. It was found that a significant percentage of patients with CTS also experienced SIS, with a higher occurrence among women and individuals over 50 years old. Significant associations were found between SIS and factors such as age, duration of CTS symptoms, and occupation involving repetitive use, as revealed by logistic regression analysis. These findings highlight the importance of recognizing the relationship between CTS and SIS, indicating the necessity for comprehensive clinical evaluations and proactive strategies to care for patients who are at risk. This study enhances our understanding of the relationship between CTS and SIS and highlights the significance of prompt and comprehensive treatment methods.
