Treatments tested in this trial

Isometric training of thumb muscles
Procedure/Surgery
Isometric training for thumb extension, abduction, radial and ulnar deviation will be performed in 3 sessions/ week for 4 weeks. The exercise protocol will begin with training using manual resistance and progress with training against resistance of elastic band and theraband.I
Eccentric training for thumb muscles
Procedure/Surgery
In Group B, eccentric training for thumb extension, abduction, radial and ulnar deviation will be performed in 3 sessions/ week for 4 weeks. The exercise protocol will begin with training using unweighted and weighted hammer curls and progress with training using elastic band, dumbbell and theraband.
Ultrasound
Procedure/Surgery
Therapeutic ultrasound for symptom management
