pain intensity
measured by visual analog scale
6 month - 1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
number of daily finger triggering
6 month - 1 year
Study Arms (2)
Ultrasound group
EXPERIMENTALTherapeutic ultrasound application. US parameters are 0.8 W/cm for intensity, 3 MHz for frequency and 5 min application. The device that will be used is medserve, England (the head of the device is 5cm). The physical therapy will by 6 sessions (every day). PT sessions will be done by the same physical therapist.
placepo group
ACTIVE COMPARATORgroup B will have a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug as prescribed by the same orthopedist and 2 session of massage with the head of ultrasound.
Interventions
Therapeutic ultrasound
