Abstract: Dequervain's tenosynovitis is an inflammation of the synovial inner lining of the tendon sheath. The hand is the most?frequent site of tenosynovitis. The patient may experience tenderness and Soreness at?the radial aspect of the wrist near the radial styloid process. Data will be collected from early elderly age homes in and around Chennai. The subjects of thirty in total were randomly divided into GROUP A & GROUP B. GROUP A receives placebo effect of ultrasound with rehabilitation exercise and GROUP B effect of ultrasound with rehabilitation exercise. Study Duration: Total - 4 weeks and 5 days / week. Treatment Duration - 20 minutes. There is significant difference between two treatment [A (-1.24) and B (-4.07)] In terms of improvement in Effect of Ultrasound with Rehabilitation exercise (t = 10.90). where the P value is (P = 0.000<0.05). In addition, The mean improvement in the value of Visual Analogue Scale by treatment B is greater than that of Treatment A. There is significant difference between two treatment [A (-2.87) and B (-15.67)]. In term of improvement in Effect of Ultrasound (t = 10.07). Where the P value is (P = 0.000<0.05) in addition, The mean improvement in the value of Quick Dash by treatment B is greater than that of Treatment A. On comparison between the two groups of A and B, this study concludes that the treatment Group B is greater improvement than treatment Group A in terms of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Quick Dash (QD).
