简要总结
68 De Quervain tenosynovitis(MPS) diagnosed patients will be randomly divided into 2 groups. To groups; splinting+exercise+high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) and splinting+exercise+sham HILT will be applied. Visual anolog scale (VAS) scores, quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH) questionnaire and Hand grip strength measurements of the patients before-after treatment will be recorded and will be evaluated statistically.

结局指标
主要结局
JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer
时间窗: 2 minutes
Hand grip strength measurements will take with a JAMAR hydraulic hand dynamometer (Lafayette Instrument, Lafayette, IN, USA) are known to provide reliable results and these measurements will be obtain while the patient will stand with a full extension of the elbow and wrist. Each patient will be asked to squeeze the dynamometer with full force for a maximum of three seconds. First on the healthy side and then on the effected side, three measurements will be taken, and the averages will be obtain.
quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH) questionnaire
时间窗: 5 Minutes
The QDASH is a self-reported questionnaire that measures the physical functions and symptoms of patients with upper limb problems. It includes 11 items from the DASH survey, and to calculate the QDASH score, atleast 10 of the 11 items should be answered. Each item contains five answer options, and the total score of the scale is calculated from the individual item scores (0=no disability and 100=the most serious disability). The first eight items of the QDASH questionnaire measure the patient's daily life function and social activity limitations. The ninth question assesses the pain intensity, and the 10th question evaluates the feeling of "pins and needles" in the upper extremity. The last question is designed to evaluate the sleep problem due to pain.
