Abstract :
Objectives The purpose of the study was to determine was to determine the added effects of PRP in De quervain’s tenosynovitis using Numerical Pain Rating Scale and Patient Specific Functional Scale. Methodology 32 subjects with diagnosed De Quervain’s tenosynovitis were selected and were randomly allocated into control and experimental groups. Subjects were assessed on measures of pain, ROM and functional status prior to and immediately after intervention. The intervention in the control group included Ultrasound and in experimental group included Pain Releasing Phenomenon (PRP) with conventional treatment. Results The experimental group showed significant decrease in pain and improved functional status. Comparison revealed, there was reduced pain and improved functional status in both the groups but was remarked in experimental group. Conclusion In the present study,it could be seen that PRP technique showed significant improvement in pain and improved functional status in patients with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
