Objectives/Interrogation: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common compressive neuropathy and has been reported to affected up to 10% of general population. Few papers have reported the prevalence of neuropathic pain in CTS as well as the outcomes of surgery on NP.

The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors of neuropathic pain (NP) in patients who underwent carpal tunnel release as well as the outcomes of surgery on NP.

Methods: Patients who underwent Carpal tunnel release from January to December 2017 at Singapore Hospital were enrolled in this study. Neuropathic Pain (NP) was determined by the Douleur Neuropathique en 4 Questions (DN4) with pre and post surgery scores recorded. Data including diabetes, use of gabapentin and pre-operative corticosteroids will be collected. Functional outcome was measured using the (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) DASH score as well as patient reported satisfaction.

Results and Conclusions: A total of 53 patients were identified. There were 37 females and 15 males with an average age of 52 years. 58% of patients were Chinese, 30% Malay and 8% Indian. Results on the prevalence and risk factors for neuropathic pain in patients undergoing carpal tunnel release will be presented. Outcomes of surgery on neuropathic pain will also be discussed.
