First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tests whether injecting steroids just outside the tendon sheath works as well as injecting inside the sheath for De Quervain's tenosynovitis, a painful thumb condition. 80 adults with moderate to severe pain will receive one of the two injections and report their pain levels after 6 weeks and 6 months. The goal is to find a simpler, equally effective treatment option.
