Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

68 De Quervain tenosynovitis(MPS) diagnosed patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups. To groups; splinting+exercise+high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and splinting+exercise+sham HILT will be applied. Visual anolog scale (VAS) scores, quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH) questionnaire and Hand grip strength measurements of the patients before-after treatment will be recorded and will be evaluated statistically.

high-intensity laser therapy (HILT)

we will apply the HILT device to the most painful area of the wrist in two phases. In both phase I and phase II, the laser will be applied using continuous circular movements.

The first three sessions (phase I) will be used to provide analgesic effects at an intermittent phase, applying a 75 sec, 8 W, 6 J/cm2 treatment for a total of 150 J of energy. The subsequent six sessions (phase II) will provide a biostimulatory effect at a continuous phase, applying a 30 sec, 6 W, 120 to 150 J/cm2 treatment. The HILT will be applied for a total of nine treatment sessions over a period of three consecutive weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

high intensity laser therapy

Intervention Type DEVICE

Laser treatment is noninvasive and painless and can be easily administered in therapy units for a wide range of conditions. High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) has gained importance for the treatment of different kinds of sports injuries such as tendon injuries, contusions, and muscle spasms.

sham HILT

We will apply the HILT device to the most painful area of the wrist by using continuous circular movements, but the laser instrument will switched off during applications. The sham HILT will be applied for a total of nine treatment sessions over a period of three consecutive weeks.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR
