    Quervain's tenosynovitis is defined as stenosis of the tendons of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis, caused by inflammation in the tendon sheath that occupies the first extensor compartment of the wrist. It mainly affects women between 30 and 50 years of age in a ratio of 10 women to every man worldwide. Objective: To identify the current methods of diagnosis and treatment of de Quervain's tenosynovitis. Methodology: This was a non-experimental bibliographic analysis, following PRISMA guidelines, which compiled scientific articles and systematic reviews from prestigious sources such as PubMed, academic Google, and SciELO, limiting the search to the last five years in Spanish and English. Results: From the databases mentioned above, initially, 40 articles were selected, but only 25 met all the established inclusion criteria. Of the 40 original articles, ten were over five years old, and 5 lacked complete information. In summary, 15 articles were excluded, leaving 25 for inclusion in developing the theoretical framework. Conclusions: Radial styloid tenosynovitis is more common in occupational diseases. The diagnosis is clinical, with tests like ultrasound and MRI if it is severe. Non-surgical treatment includes thumb immobilization, anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy, and corticosteroids. It combines pharmacological and physiotherapeutic treatment to relieve symptoms and restore mobility.
