Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients over 18 years of age, with trigger finger grade II and grade III of the Green Classification will be submitted to clinical evaluation, in which we will consider three criteria for diagnosis: Clinical history: pain at A1 pulley level, history of bounce and / or active or passive block, exacerbation of symptoms in the morning; Physical examination: presence of pain in pulley A1, with or without shoulder or block; USG: presence of tenosynovitis, with or without tendon nodule. The presence of two of the three criteria will be sufficient for diagnosis and inclusion. There will be no intervention by researchers with regard to the inclusion of patients, with the aim of controlling potential inclusion bias. After reading, explaining the study proposal and accepting to participate, all research subjects will sign a Free and Informed Consent Form (ICF)

| Pain Evaluation by Visual Analog Scale (VAS): The visual analogue pain scale is formed by two bars, joined by a line with 100 millimeters, which mark the beginning and the end. The starting bar is "0" and indicates no pain. The final bar is "10" and indicates maximum pain. The patient will be asked to register their pain with a line on this line that joins the two bars. The measurement of pain will be performed by measuring the distance between the initial bar and the trace performed by the patient and considered as a continuous variable, from 0 to 100 millimeters.; Satisfaction scale: The visual analogue satisfaction scale consists of two bars, joined by a line with 100 millimeters, which mark the beginning and the end. The starting bar is "0%" and indicates total dissatisfaction with the treatment. The final bar is "100%" and indicates maximum satisfaction with the treatment. The patient will be asked to register his / her satisfaction with a line in this line that joins the two bars.;QuickDASH questionnaire: QuickDASH is a shorter version of the DASH questionnaire. Arm, Shoulder and Hand Dysfunction (DASH) It quantifies dysfunction of the upper limbs and detects changes in the function of the upper limb and the patient's responses to treatments. DASH was introduced by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons in 2001 with the aim of measuring the deficiency caused by various disorders of the upper limbs, demonstrating validity and reliability. There are 30 questions self-applicable, specific for upper extremity function and symptoms during the week prior to application. QuickDASH, was developed from DASH and also demonstrated equivalent validity, reliability and sensitivity. Detects changes in upper limb function and patient responses to treatment. It has eleven items addressing the symptoms and daily skills in people with some or more disorders in the upper limb, provides the same quality of information in a summarized form, facilitating the score for the cl | — |
