Copyright © 2021 The Society of Korean Medicine Rehabilitation This study reports the effectiveness of Korean medicine and Chuna manual therapy on patients with De Quervain’s tenosynovitis. Two patients were treated with Chuna manual therapy, electro-acupuncture, moxibustion therapy. We used numeric rating scale (NRS), Finkelstein’s test, sonography to measure changes during treatment. After each treatment, NRS, Finkelstein’s test, sonography outcome were improved. Korean medicine including Chuna manual therapy can be effectively used to improve De Quervain’s tenosynovitis.
