AB  - OBJECTIVE: To translate and validate the Arabic version of the Boston carpal 
      tunnel questionnaire (BCTQ-A). METHODS: We recruited consecutive patients with 
      carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Reliability was assessed with Cronbach alpha, 
      reproducibility with intraclass correlation coefficients, construct validity with 
      factor analysis, and responsiveness post carpal tunnel release (CTR) with the 
      Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: In 134 patients, the mean total scores for 
      the symptom severity scale (SSS) and functional status scale (FSS) were 
      32.0+/-8.4 (alpha=0.88, ICC=0.88) and 18.5+/-7.6 (alpha=0.87, ICC=0.89), 
      respectively. As in the original Boston carpal tunnel questionnaire (BCTQ), a 
      3-factor model of the BCTQ-A best fitted the data. The BCTQ-A, SSS, and FSS 
      scores were significantly lower post-CTR. CONCLUSION: The BCTQ-A is reliable, 
      valid, reproducible, and responsive to interventions. The Arabic version can be 
      now used with Arabic-speaking patients with CTS.
