Background: De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (DQT) is a condition that affects the tendons on the thumb side of the wrist. It is typically caused by repetitive motion or overuse leading to irritation and inflammation of the tendons in the first dorsal compartment of the wrist. Barbers are at a higher risk of developing De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (DQT) due to the repetitive and frequent thumb movements required during their work. When barbers use scissors, clippers or other tools, they often make precise, continuous motions with their thumbs to grip and manipulate these instruments. Method: This observational study was conducted on barbers (89 Male and 32 females) using a Finkelstein’s test for clinical diagnosis of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (DQT) Participants were given Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) to analyse the degree of pain. Result: 71% Participant were tested positive for Finkelstein’s Test. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is 71% prevalence of De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis in barbers.
