These patients were randomly divided into two groups of 48 patients. Both groups underwent open carpal tunnel release surgery. The control group received routine nursing care, while the study group received a combination of continuous and cluster nursing interventions. The Boston carpal tunnel question, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire (DASH) and the Barthel index were used to compare hand function recovery, hand pain, sleep quality, and quality of life between the two groups before and 3 months after surgery.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Both groups experienced improvements in hand function and pain 3 months after surgery.
