Effect Of Shock Waves Therapy On Post Natal De Quarvain Tenosynovitis
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on pain, wrist and thumb range of motion, and upper limb function in postpartum women with De Quervain's tenosynovitis.
연구 개요
상세 설명
De Quervain's tenosynovitis is a musculoskeletal condition affecting the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis tendons within the first dorsal compartment of the wrist. It is associated with pain, tenderness, restricted thumb and wrist movement, and difficulty performing daily activities. Postpartum women may be particularly affected because of repetitive wrist and thumb movements associated with infant care.
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment modality being investigated for its potential effects on pain reduction and functional recovery in musculoskeletal disorders.
This study is designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial involving 40 postpartum women diagnosed with De Quervain's tenosynovitis. Participants will be randomly allocated into two equal groups of 20 women each.
The study group will receive extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with a therapeutic exercise program consisting of tendon gliding, stretching, and strengthening exercises.
The control group will receive the same therapeutic exercise program without shock wave therapy.
Outcome assessments will be conducted before and after the treatment period. Pain intensity will be evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), wrist and thumb range of motion will be measured using a goniometer, and upper limb function will be assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire.
The study will compare changes within and between the two groups to evaluate the additional effect of shock wave therapy on pain, range of motion, and upper limb function in postpartum women with De Quervain's tenosynovitis.

실험적: Shock Wave Therapy + Therapeutic Exercises
Twenty postpartum women with De Quervain's tenosynovitis will receive extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in addition to a therapeutic exercise program consisting of tendon gliding, stretching, and strengthening exercises. The exercise program will be performed for 30 minutes daily over four weeks. |
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy will be applied to the affected first dorsal compartment of the wrist using a radial shock wave device. Treatment parameters will include 1,000 impulses per session, with frequencies ranging from 18 to 21 Hz and pressure settings ranging from 1.4 to 1.8 bar, according to the study protocol.
