De Quervain's disease is a painful condition affecting the tendons of the thumb, characterized by inflammation and thickening of the tendon sheaths in the wrist, often associated with repetitive movements. Diagnosis is made by clinical evaluation and imaging tests such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, with conservative treatments including rest and use of anti-inflammatory drugs, while persistent cases may require surgery. This study reviews the methods of diagnosis and treatment, analyzing their effectiveness and implications.
