Brief Summary  

De quervain’s tenosynovitis (DQT) is a disorder characterized by pain, tenderness and edema over the lateral side of the wrist caused by mechanical impingement between the tendons of Abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis. DQT results in impairment of wrist, hand and thumb function with activities of daily living like lifting and gripping. Therapeutic tools like Kinesio taping (KT) and splints like Thumb spica splint, are used for the management of musculoskeletal injuries. KT supports the inflamed and damaged tissue without immobilizing the structures. The comparative effectiveness of KT and splint has not been clinically evaluated in DQT. Aim of the study is to compare effectiveness of KT and Thumb spica splint on Pain, muscle strength and function in DQT. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, patients will be allocated in 2 groups. Group 1 will be given KT along with conventional treatment (Ultrasonic therapy+ Rehabilitation exercises) and Group 2 with Thumb spica splint along with conventional treatment. Outcome variables used pre and post intervention are Pain (VAS), Muscle strength and Function (PRWE Scale). Duration of treatment in both the groups will be for 2 weeks (3 days/week). The results can provide an evidence to which treatment is more effective in DQT.
