The Influence of Illness Perception and Mental Health on Return to Work After Carpal Tunnel Release Surgery

Miguel C. Jansen et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify the psychological factors influencing return to work after carpal tunnel release surgery.

Addressing these psychological factors before surgery could potentially improve return to work outcomes.
