Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common neuropathy in the hand which presented with pain and paresthesia in the hands and the wrists. The aim of our study was evaluated clinical symptoms of patients with different severity of CTS. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study was performed on 40 patients referred to Emam khomeyni Hospital in Tehran from 2017 to late 2019 with symptoms of CTS and have been diagnosed with a definite diagnosis. Results: A positive significant correlation was between severity of CTS and age, and reverse significant correlation was between severity of CTS with duration of symptoms. There were significant relationships between severity of CTS and shaking or ringing the hands symptoms, weakness or atrophy of the flexion test and reverse phalen test (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Clinical symptoms of CTS can be diagnosing different severity of disease, so considering of symptoms can plays a predominant role in the diagnosis of the disease.
