Brief Summary

There is no study in the literature comparing both paraffin bath therapy and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of patients with De Quervain Tenosynovitis. The aim of this study is performing this comparison.

Conditions

De Quervain Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse

  at baseline (before the treatment)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse

  2 weeks after baseline (at the end of treatment)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  patient's self-assessment of pain, in the range of 0 to 10, higher scores mean a worse

  6 weeks after baseline (one month after the end of treatment)

• Duruöz Hand Index (DHI)

  Duruöz Hand Index (DHI) is a functional disability scale that can be used successfully to assess the functional disability with different hand arthropathies. It consists of 18 items that evaluate hand and wrist activities. The answers are evaluated on a 6-level (0-5) Likert scale and the total score ranges from 0 to 90.

  at baseline (before the treatment)

Study Arms (2)

Paraffin Bath Therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Paraffin bath therapy is a physical therapy method that can create a temperature increase of 7.5 °C in the joint capsule and 4.5 °C in the muscle.

Device: Paraffin Bath Therapy

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a noninvasive treatment that involves delivery of shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing.

Device: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy

Interventions

Paraffin Bath Therapy DEVICE

Device named 'Fizyowax 1300' (Fizyomed, Turkey).

Paraffin Bath Therapy

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy DEVICE

Device named 'Elettronica Pagani,Italy' and will be used with radial probe.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
