Clinical Trial Summary

The current study will be conducted to explore the efficacy of ESWT on ultrasonographic changes, pain intensity level, upper limb function and hand grip strength in patients with de Quervain tenosynovitis.


Clinical Trial Description

De Quervain tenosynovitis (DQT) is a painful condition involving the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (EPB). The pathogenesis is generally defined as a stenosing condition of the first dorsal compartment of the wrist, characterized by thickening of the extensor retinaculum of APL and EPB, which can cause tendon gliding difficulties and impingement between the tendons and their fibrous sheaths. The prevalence rate of DQT in the general population is 0.5% for males and 1.3% for females, with peak prevalence at the age of 40-60 years. Female prevalence is 6 to 10 times higher than that in men. De Quervain tenosynovitis is a repetitive strain injury consider postures where the thumb is held in abduction and extension to be predisposing factors. De Quervain tenosynovitis incidence increased by virtue of modern life conditions such as excessive computer use and increased use of cellular phones. However, little research has been carried out to determine the therapeutic effects of ESWT in DQT, and up till now, there is a gap in literature that explore ESWT efficacy on ultrasonographic changes of DQT. So This current study will be conducted to explore the efficacy of ESWT on ultrasonographic changes, pain intensity level, upper limb function and hand grip strength in patients with de Quervain tenosynovitis. Sixty patients from both genders will be involved in this study and will be randomly subdivided into two equal groups in number. First Group (A) (Experimental Group) will receive radial Extracorporeal Shockwave therapy plus Traditional physical therapy program and the second Group (B) (Control Group): This group will receive Traditional physical therapy program. ;
