Effect of Dynamic Taping on Pain, Disability and Grip Strength among Patients with De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis: A Case Series

De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (DTS) often occurs after repetitive movements of the thumb and wrist, resulting in discomfort and a negative impact on daily activities. It most commonly affects women aged 40-50 years. Conservative management includes rest, splinting, analgesics, and corticosteroid injections; surgery is considered if required. However, these treatments may restrict movement and may not provide lasting relief. This case series aimed to study how Dynamic Taping (DT) affected pain, disability, and grip strength in patients suffering from DTS. Five participants in this study (aged 25-45 years) were treated with DT, and outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Patient Rated Wrist and Hand Evaluation (PRWHE), and a dynamometer. The study concluded that outcomes showed significant improvements after the application of DT in addition to standard physiotherapy care.
