Summary

This study compares two common treatments for De Quervain's tenosynovitis, a painful thumb tendon condition: wearing a static hand-wrist splint versus doing specific exercises. Researchers will track pain, hand function, and satisfaction in 40 adults over several weeks. The goal is to find which approach works better so doctors can offer clearer, evidence-based advice.
