It is one of the most common painful disorders that are encountered in the clinical practice. There is a paucity of evidence based data, which establish superiority of a particular treatment modality over others. Hence this study to evaluate the treatment modality with Triamcinolone acetate and Lignocaine Method: Study was designed as prospective study. Study was conducted in patients attending orthopaedic outpatient department (OPD) during study period and who were ready to participate were included in the study. Verbal consent & data was collected from them by interview technique. A predesigned, structured questionnaire was used to collect necessary information. The patients were subjected to visual analog scale (VAS) and numerical pain scale on a scale of 1–10. The patients were injected with Triamcinolone acetate 40 mg (1 ml) and lignocaine (1 ml) locally at the site of the tendon. Results: Among Total 67 patients participated in the study After 5 days , 50 patients showed good improvement, 10 patients showed moderate improvement, 5 patients showed mild improvement, and 2 patients had no improvement.
