Dr. Xu Shuai
The treatment of wrist tenosynovitis nodules can be divided into the following aspects:
1. General treatment:
Rest: Reduce wrist movement and avoid maintaining the same posture for long periods to alleviate inflammation and pain.
Warmth: Avoid cold exposure to the wrist and maintain warmth, which helps relieve symptoms.
2. Pharmacological treatment:
For patients with severe pain, medications such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules or celecoxib capsules may be taken as directed by a physician to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis and achieve pain relief.
3. Physical therapy:
Heat application: Apply a hot water bag or warm towel locally to promote blood circulation and help reduce swelling and pain.
Physical therapy methods such as ultrasound and ultraviolet irradiation can also effectively relieve pain and inflammation.
4. Surgical treatment:
If significant tenosynovial stenosis develops, surgical decompression via tenosynovectomy may be considered.
The treatment of wrist tenosynovitis nodules should comprehensively consider the patient's specific condition to select the appropriate therapeutic approach.
