Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: We sought to evaluate the potential reinforcement of misconceptions in websites discussing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
UNASSIGNED: After removing all cookies to limit personalization, we entered \"carpal tunnel syndrome\" into five search engines and collected the first 50 results displayed for each search. For each of the 105 unique websites, we recorded publication date, author background, and number of views. The prevalence of potential reinforcement and/or reorientation of misconceptions for each website was then scored using a rubric based on our interpretation of the best current evidence regarding CTS. The informational quality of websites was graded with the DISCERN instrument, a validated tool for assessing online health information.
UNASSIGNED: Every website contained at least one potentially misleading statement in our opinion. The most common misconceptions reference \"excessive motion\" and \"inflammation.\" Greater potential reinforcement of misinformation about CTS was associated with fewer page views and lower informational quality scores.
UNASSIGNED: Keeping in mind that this analysis is based on our interpretation of current best evidence, potential misinformation on websites addressing CTS is common and has the potential to increase symptom intensity and magnitude of incapability via reinforcement of unhelpful thoughts regarding symptoms.
UNASSIGNED: The prevalence of patient-directed health information that can increase discomfort and incapability by reinforcing common unhelpful thoughts supports the need for innovations in how we develop, oversee, and evolve healthy online material.

摘要：
■我们试图评估讨论腕管综合征（CTS）的网站中误解的潜在强化。
■删除所有Cookie以限制个性化设置后，我们在五个搜索引擎中输入了“腕管综合症”，并收集了每次搜索显示的前50个结果。对于105个独特的网站，我们记录了出版日期，作者背景,和视图的数量。然后，根据我们对当前有关CTS的最佳证据的解释，使用标题对每个网站的潜在强化和/或误解重新定向的普遍性进行评分。网站的信息质量用DISCERN工具进行分级，一个经过验证的工具，用于评估在线健康信息。
■我们认为，每个网站都至少包含一个潜在的误导性陈述。最常见的误解是指“过度运动”和“炎症”。“关于CTS的错误信息的更大潜在强化与更少的页面浏览量和更低的信息质量分数相关。
■请记住，此分析是基于我们对当前最佳证据的解释，针对CTS的网站上的潜在错误信息很常见，并且有可能通过加强对症状的无用想法来增加症状强度和无能程度。
■以患者为导向的健康信息的普及，可以通过增强常见的无用思想来增加不适感和无能，这支持了对我们如何发展的创新的需求，监督，发展健康的在线材料。
