Betamethasone Versus Ketorolac Injection for the Treatment of DeQuervains Tenosynovitis
April 1, 2024 updated by: OrthoCarolina Research Institute, Inc.
Betamethason Versus Ketorolac Injection for the Treatment of DeQuervains Tenosynovitis
The purpose of this study is to determine if corticosteroid injection modifies the natural course of de Quervain tendinopathy compared to a toradol injection.

Detailed Description
If steroids are effective for Dequervain tenosynovitis because of their anti-inflammatory properties, then there is a reasonable and rational argument to be made for the local injection of NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) into the first dorsal extensor compartment.
Ketorolac is an NSAID that has been proven efficacious in the treatment of another musculoskeletal condition.
Moreover, compared to betamethasone (or other injectable corticosteroids), injection of ketorolac decreases the patient exposure to the potential side-effects of corticosteroids, especially that of elevation of blood sugar levels in diabetics.

The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Score (DASH)
Time Frame: pre injection, 2 weeks post injection, 6 weeks post injection, 3 months post injection, 6 months post injection
|
Patient-reported evaluation of symptoms as well as ability to perform certain activities.
Score is 0-100 (higher scores indicate greater disability).
Must answer at least 27/30 questions.
Score is 1 to 5 per question.
Score is then summed and divided by the number of completed questions.
subtract 1 from this number then multiply by 25.
