No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary aim is to compare the effectiveness of splinting versus steroid injection in improving the DASH scores in participants diagnosed with De Quervain's tenosynovitis over a period of 6 months.

Conditions

  • De Quervain Syndrome

Interventions

DRUG

Hydrocortisone-Lidocaine

Intervention will be done on the same day based on the randomization. For the steroid injection group, a 1ml injection of a mixture of 0.5ml triamcinolone acetonide (50mg/5ml) and 0.5ml 1% lignoacaine is given intra-thecally into the first extensor compartment. For both groups, routine analgesia is not prescribed but the use is not restricted to the participants.

OTHER

Splint

Intervention will be done on the same day based on the randomization. For the splint group, a long thumb spica thermoplastic splint (wrist neutral, 30º CMCJ flexion, 30º thumb abduction, IPJ free) will be customized and intermittent active range of motion exercises will be taught for 4 weeks. Subsequently, the splint will be weaned and passive range of motion exercises taught. For both groups, routine analgesia is not prescribed but the use is not restricted to the participants.
