چکیده

مقدمه: سندرم Carpal tunnel یک بیماری نورولوژیک شایع است که عوامل خطر مختلفی در بروز آن دخالت دارند. مطالعه‌ی حاضر، با هدف مقایسه‌ی شیوع عوامل خطر این بیماری در دو گروه مبتلا و غیر مبتلا به انجام رسید.روش‌ها: طی یک مطالعه‌ی مورد- شاهدی، 100 بیمار مبتلا به سندرم Carpal tunnel و 100 فرد سالم انتخاب شدند و شیوع عوامل خطر این بیماری در دو گروه بررسی و مقایسه گردید.یافته‌ها: از بین عوامل خطر شایع، شیوع کار با کیبورد، کار قدرتی، حرکات تکراری، کار با ابزار ارتعاشی، ابتلا به بیماری‌های التهابی، چاقی و دیابت در گروه بیمار به طور معنی‌داری بیشتر از گروه شاهد بود.نتیجه‌گیری: از آن جایی که امروزه عوامل مؤثر در ایجاد سندرم Carpal tunnel تغییر یافته‌اند، گروه‌های مختلفی همچون کاربران کامپیوتر و افرادی که با ابزار ارتعاشی کار می‌کنند، بیشتر در معرض خطر ابتلا به این بیماری هستند. از این رو، لازم است ضمن ارتقای سطح آگاهی جامعه در مورد عوامل خطر جدید این بیماری، در جهت بهبود استاندارد وسایل و تجهیزات صنعتی و خانگی از جمله لوازم آشپزخانه اقدام نمود.

چکیده [English]

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common neurological disease with various risk factors involved in its onset. The present study aimed to compare the prevalence of risk factors in two groups with and without the syndrome.Methods: In a case-control study, 100 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome and 100 healthy people were selected and the prevalence of risk factors in carpal tunnel syndrome were evaluated and compared between the two groups.Findings: Of the known risk factors, prevalence of working with keyboard, powerful working, repetitive movements, working with vibrating tools, inflammatory diseases, obesity, and diabetes was significantly higher in the patient group.Conclusion: Today, the risk factors in carpal tunnel syndrome are changing, and computer users and people who work with vibrating tools are at more risk. Therefore, it is necessary to raise awareness in the community about the new disease risk factors, in order to improve the standard of industrial equipment and home appliances such as kitchen utensils as well.
