Tendon sheath inflammation is caused by chronic strain and repeated activity, leading to a sterile inflammation of the tendon sheath surrounding the tendon. This results in impairment of tendon movement, causing symptoms such as pain and restricted movement. Tendon sheath inflammation primarily arises from repetitive activity and chronic strain. It can be relieved by appropriate resting, topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and physical therapy. In severe cases where tendon impingement occurs, surgery is required to alleviate the symptoms. Massage therapy is not recommended for this type of sterile inflammation, as it does not have a significant effect.

How to deal with tenosynovitis?

Tendinitis refers to the condition where the tendon sheath around a tendon becomes inflamed due to chronic strain, resulting in a sterile inflammation that affects the movement of the tendon sheath and causes localized pain symptoms. If the symptoms of tendinitis are mild, one can opt for topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and pay attention to rest to alleviate the symptoms. If the symptoms are severe and cause restricted movement, surgery is recommended to clean and remove the severely affected sheath to relieve symptoms.

Is electrothermal therapy effective for tendinitis?

Regarding the question of whether electrothermal therapy is effective for tenosynovitis. First, it needs to be affirmed that electrothermal therapy is beneficial for patients with tenosynovitis. The primary purpose of electrothermal therapy is to promote local blood circulation and facilitate the absorption of inflammatory exudates, which can effectively alleviate the clinical symptoms of the patient's tenosynovitis, and the results are quite good. Therefore, patients with tenosynovitis can undergo electrothermal therapy. In addition, for patients with tenosynovitis, local injections, topical plasters that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and daily local hot washing can also be performed. Hot washing with Sichuan pepper and salt in hot water is usually sufficient. For patients with severe tenosynovitis, it is necessary to actively pursue surgical treatment.

The difference between tendinitis and tendon sheath cyst.

Tendinitis refers to the inflammation of a sheath surrounding the tendon, known as the tendon sheath, caused by chronic strain. This results in a sterile inflammatory response between the tendon and its sheath, leading to symptoms such as pain and limited mobility. Meanwhile, a tendon sheath cyst is a cystic change occurring within the tendon sheath due to various reasons, characterized by a small amount of fluid or gel-like tissue within the cyst. When tendinitis occurs, it can be managed with conservative treatment, rest, and physical therapy to alleviate symptoms. On the other hand, a tendon sheath cyst might not show evident symptoms initially, but as the condition progresses and the cyst grows, it may compress local blood vessels or nerves causing symptoms, necessitating surgical intervention at this stage.

How to treat tenosynovitis?

Tenosynovitis is mainly caused by prolonged engagement in certain activities, leading to frequent tendon movements within the tendon sheath, which in turn causes inflammatory damage, resulting in swelling, pain, and restricted movement of the tendon and sheath. For the treatment of tenosynovitis, it is important to first rest and stop engaging in the frequent activity. When symptoms occur, anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, heat applications, physiotherapy, and local injections can be used for treatment. These methods can play an active role in improving symptoms and reducing inflammatory responses. If conservative treatment is ineffective, or if there is a functional impairment, surgical methods can also be considered for treatment.
