Study summary

This study is carried out to find out the degree of pain relief achieved with standard treatment as steroid injection as well as its time to onset. It will recruit 50 subjects over a period of 18 months.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the study is determine how effective these injections are and when will the patient start feeling relief of his/her symptoms.The aim of the study is not to change the current practice, but provide hand surgeons enough data to clarify their patients the expected outcomes and onset timing of the treatment performed.

Study population

Participants of the study will be selected by attending physician in Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery outpatient clinic.

Estimated sample size is 50 patients.Statistical power calculation (error type II) is 0.8The Kaplan-Meier product-limit method will be used to estimate the rates of freedom from recurrence of symptoms. Confidence intervals for Kaplan-Meier survivorship functions will be based on Greenwood's variance estimated. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression model is planned to identify independent predictors of outcome.

Interventions

  • ProcedureCorticosteroid Injection

    Steroid injection effectiveness will be determined by relief of pain scored by patient using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Data will be collected during clinic visit and contacting patients in a determined protocol for the following 6 weeks after steroid injection.After approval of the study, data will collected from participants over a period of 6 weeks follow up; the whole study will be conducted over a total of 2 years.Since the study will not conduct any further test to participants and follow up regimen will only state pain related to the specific condition (De Quervain tenosynovitis) and quick-DASH score, it will not result in any anticipated/unanticipated incidental findings, therefore participants will not be recontacted.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Determine efficacy of steroid injection

    a single steroid injection over first dorsal compartment for patients diagnosed with de Quervain tenosynovitis will make effect within 7 days from injection, relieving pain to less or equal than 1 in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: 7 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 2, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
