Compare injection into versus outside the tendon sheath
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of giving an injection to treat De Quervain’s tenosynovitis (pain and swelling near the thumb). If you qualify, you may receive one of the injection approaches to help reduce pain.

- You can sign consent yourself (not a legal representative).
- You have been clinically diagnosed with De Quervain’s.
- Your pain level before the injection must be at least 40 mm on the VAS pain scale.
- You expect to live more than 1 year.

This study compares two types of laser therapy (high-level and low-level) to see which is better at reducing pain and improving hand function in people with De Quervain's tenosynovitis, a condition that causes pain at the base of the thumb. If you join, you will receive one of these laser treatments and be monitored for relief.
This study compares two different amounts of numbing medication injected around the nerve in the wrist to see which works better for carpal tunnel syndrome. The injection is guided by ultrasound to be accurate and may help relieve symptoms like pain and tingling.
This study tests whether an NSAID injection or a corticosteroid injection works better for thumb base arthritis. If you have ongoing pain despite using things like ibuprofen, ice, or a brace, this trial may help find which treatment offers better relief.
