Filter by:this study will investigate the effects of mobilization with movement in addition to soft tissue mobilization on pain and range of motion in patients suffering from De Quervain Tenosynovitis.
This study is carried out to find out the degree of pain relief achieved with standard treatment as steroid injection as well as its time to onset. It will recruit 50 subjects over a period of 18 months.
68 De Quervain tenosynovitis(MPS) diagnosed patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups. To groups; splinting+exercise+high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and splinting+exercise+sham HILT will be applied. Visual anolog scale (VAS) scores, quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH) questionnaire and Hand grip strength measurements of the patients before-after treatment will be recorded and will be evaluated statistically.
The aim of the study is to determine whether or not extra-sheath steroid injections are inferior to intra-sheath steroid injections in the treatment of DeQuervain's Tenosynovitis. Patients will be randomized to either the intra-sheath group or the extra-sheath group and their pre-injection level of pain will be assessed using the visual analog scale. Appropriate injections will then be administered by 1 of 3 UC Davis hand surgeons. Six weeks post injection the patients will be reassessed using the visual analog scale and their score at 6 weeks will be compared to their pre-injection score.
Trigger finger is the common name of stenosing tenosynovitis of fingers, caused by repetitive trauma. Conservative treatment includes NSAIDs or other analgesic agents, activity modification, splint, and physiotherapy. Operation could be considered if conservative treatments fails. With literature reviewed, there is no treatment which is both non-invasive and effective, and also could avoid recurrence well. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy could induce angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory reaction, and recruitment of fibroblast. Although extracorporeal shock wave has been utilized in musculoskeletal diseases for more than twenty years, there is no well-designed clinical trial to prove the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave in treating trigger finger. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy with traditional physical therapy for the management of trigger finger.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of resection of one or both slips of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon versus the A1 pulley division.
De Quervain tenosynovitis is the most common cause of lateral wrist pain. It occurs with stenosis of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons in the first dorsal extensor compartment of wrist. When these muscles are contracted, thumb extension is observed, so repeated ulnar deviation and thumb extension exacerbates pain. It is seen more commonly in middle-aged females and in the dominant hand. Although it has been shown that fibrous tissue deposits cause thickening of the tendon sheaths, the etiology of de Quervain tenosynovitis is unclear. The prevalence of de Quervain tenosynovitis has been reported to be 0.5% in males and 1.3% in females. Diagnosis of de Quervain tenosynovitis is based on clinical examination. The Finkelstein test is the provocation of pain with wrist ulnar deviation. Plain radiography may be useful for differential diagnosis. Conservative treatment of rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), and physical therapy is applied first, then there may be a need for corticosteroid injections, and in resistant cases, surgery. Neural therapy (NT) is a type of regulatory therapy using local anesthesia for the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain. NT includes local therapy (eg,infiltration of trigger points) and segmental therapy (eg, sympathetic ganglia, nerve roots, and peripheral nerves) . To the best of our knowledge, the effect of neural therapy on patients with De Quervain tenosynovitis has not been previously evaluated. Therefore, the aim of this study was to highlight the effect of neural therapy on this condition.
Some hand conditions can be treated with a steroid injection. Some doctors mix the steroid with local anaesthetic in the hope that the patient will experience less pain after the injection. Some doctors do not do this. It is not known if adding local anaesthetic to the steroid improves patient's pain after the injection. The overall aim of the study is to see whether using local anaesthetic in the steroid injection makes a difference to patients' pain. If the study shows that using local anaesthetic improves patients' pain then the investigators should continue using it. If not, the investigators should stop giving patients unnecessary medication, which would also save the NHS time and money.
The aim of the research is to determine if participants who receive physical therapy (physiotherapy) including soft tissue mobilization, dry needling, Heavy slow load (eccentric-concentric) exercise (with hand weights specific to the biceps muscle) and a comprehensive rotator cuff and scapular stabilization program achieve greater reductions in pain and disability in the short (3-4 weeks) and long term (6 months) compared to those who receive soft tissue mobilization and a comprehensive rotator cuff and scapular stabilization program. Both treatment approaches are within the standard of care for physical therapists, the aim being to determine the most effective treatment approach. Study participants will be recruited form clinicians and flyers within the university/hospital organization where the study is taking place. Participants will be asked to attend 6 physical therapy visits and complete 6 surveys about their pain and disability.
This study evaluates a Decision Aid to help patients with de Quervain's tenosynovitis decide how to treat their condition. For patients with symptoms of depression, half the participants will receive a psychological intervention (Toolkit) to improve depression and pain from de Quervain's tenosynovitis. The investigators hypothesize that both the Decision Aid and the Toolkit will be feasible, and that the Toolkit will improve pain and function compared to usual care.
