The objective of the study is to compare pain reduction and disability reduction in two groups of patients diagnosed with de Quervain syndrome who will undergo ultrasound-guided infiltrative treatment with corticosteroid as per normal clinical practice:
* the control group will subsequently be subjected to a standard treatment based on the European guidelines of the HANDGUIDE group, * the experimental group will subsequently carry out a program of eccentric exercises.
Patients of both sexes with a minimum age of 18 years;
Medical diagnosis of de Quervain syndrome assessed through orthopedic clinical examination e confirmation by ultrasound;
Signing of the informed consent and participation in the study.
Patients who are not self-sufficient or not able to understand and want;
Presence of other pathologies in the hand affected by de Quervain pathology, such as intersection syndrome, neuropathies, fractures, rhizoarthrosis, arthrosis of the radio-carpal or intercarpal joint, intercarpal instability, cervical radiculopathy, rheumatic or metabolic pathologies;
Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Parallel
Rehabilitation
Other intervention-the experimental group will carry out a program of eccentric exercises following the infiltration and will also wear the wrist brace for 4 weeks.
Standard
Other intervention-the standard group will carry out a program of generic exercises following the infiltration and will also wear the wrist brace for 4 weeks.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
An 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) ranging from 0 to 10 was anchored on the left with the phrase "No Pain" and on the right with the phrase "Worst Imaginable Pain." Patients rated their current, best, and worst level of pain during the last 24 hours.

Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand
The Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score consists of 30 questions and is used to assess functional disorders of the upper extremity. The possible score ranges from 0 to 100 points. 0 points represent a complete, unrestricted function of the upper extremities, while 100 points represent the greatest possible functional impairment.
