Summary

This study evaluates a Decision Aid to help patients with de Quervain's tenosynovitis decide how to treat their condition. For patients with symptoms of depression, half the participants will receive a psychological intervention (Toolkit) to improve depression and pain from de Quervain's tenosynovitis. The investigators hypothesize that both the Decision Aid and the Toolkit will be feasible, and that the Toolkit will improve pain and function compared to usual care.

Detailed description

The investigators are doing this research to see if they can improve the management of patients with de Quervain's tendinopathy. In the first part of this study, a Decision Aid (DA) has been developed to help participants make choices about their treatment. Decision aids are designed to provide patients with balanced, complete, and understandable information about their options for management of their condition, as well as risks and benefits, in order to help them determine their preferences according to their values. Research has shown that patients felt more knowledgeable and better informed with a more active role in decision making after using DAs. Additionally, research has shown that depression affects pain and disability experienced by patients with de Quervain's tenosynovitis. In the second part of our study, the investigators want to see whether a web based skills intervention (Toolkit) is more effective than usual medical care in improving pain and disability in patients with de Quervain's tenosynovitis and symptoms of depression. The Toolkit is delivered online and can be accessed at home. Similar skills interventions in patients with musculoskeletal injury have been shown to improve pain and function.
