The goal is to relieve the pain caused by the irritation and swelling. Resting the thumb and wrist by wearing a splint may be recommended. Anti-inflammatory medication taken by mouth or injection may help reduce the swelling and relieve the pain. If improvement does not occur, surgery is generally done. The surgery opens the compartment (covering) to make more room for the irritated tendons.
