De Quervain's Tenosynovitis (TQ), initially described in 1895 by Swiss physician Fritz de Quervain, is a painful and chronic musculoskeletal condition characterized by thickening of the tendon sheaths in the first dorsal compartment of the hand. The pathophysiological process begins with involvement of the first dorsal compartment of the wrist, where the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus (APL) and extensor pollicis brevis (ECP) are located. Thus, the problem addressed in this article is guided by the following research question: "What is the effectiveness of treatments used for De Quervain's Tenosynovitis (TQ) on the functional capacity of patients affected by this orthopedic clinical condition?" The objective of this article, therefore, was to analyze in the literature the impacts of De Quervain's Tenosynovitis on the functional capacity of affected patients. As a result of this review, 46 studies were found, duplicate articles were eliminated, totaling 25. After careful reading of the titles and abstracts, 13 articles were selected, which were available in full in the databases, met all inclusion criteria, and were relevant to the present study. The review highlights a significant gap in the scientific evidence base for conservative methods in the treatment of TQ. The lack of comprehensive and high-quality studies raises doubts about the effectiveness of these methods compared to Corticosteroid Injections (CIs) and Surgery.
