Summary

De Quervain disease is characterized by an adductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons inflammation as thys pass beneath the extensor retinaculum at the radial styloid. This pathology is recognized as a musculoskeletal disorder of the upper limb triggering functional deficits resulting to possible modifications in the professional activity, sources of absenteeism, thus constituting an economic cost for society. At the etiological level, this pathology also affects young mothers (it's called "mother's wrist" or mommy thumb"), mobile phone users ("textonite", "Blackberryte") or video game players ("Nintendoite").

Currently, the treatment is mainly conservative by splint and anti-inflammatory gel and/or corticosteroid infiltration. Howewer, these therapies have undesirable effects. The interest of this study is therefore to propose another therapy based on aromatherapy gel.
