Recruiting studies
- NCT07753460Recruiting
Low-level laser therapy for trigger finger pain
This study tests a low-level laser treatment (a form of light therapy) to see if it helps reduce pain and improve movement in people with trigger finger. It is a non-invasive option that may offer symptom relief without shots or surgery.
Izmir, BalçovaAges 18 years+ - NCT06296017Recruiting
Comparing nonsurgical treatments for trigger finger
This study compares nonsurgical treatments (like exercises, splints, or injections) for trigger finger. It aims to find which conservative approach works best for mild cases without surgery.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07681804Recruiting
Steroid vs Sugar-Water Injection for Trigger Finger
This study compares two common treatments for trigger finger: a steroid injection (betamethasone) and a sugar-water (dextrose) injection. The goal is to see which one works better to relieve finger locking and pain.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT06476977Recruiting
Numbing method for trigger finger injection
This trial tests a special way of numbing the finger before a corticosteroid injection for trigger finger. The goal is to see if it makes the injection more comfortable and effective.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06788860Recruiting
Needle knife release for trigger finger
This trial tests if using a needle knife guided by ultrasound can help release a locked or painful trigger finger. It's for people who have had symptoms for at least 3 months and haven't gotten better with other treatments like splinting or exercises.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07256522Recruiting
Comparing treatments for trigger finger
This study compares three non-surgical treatments for a single trigger finger: a splint, paraffin wax, and a type of mud therapy. It aims to find which works best for improving finger movement and reducing pain.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–75 - NCT06737601Enrolling by invitation
Shockwave or splint for trigger finger
This study compares two treatments for trigger finger: a special hand splint and shockwave therapy (a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to help the finger move smoothly). Researchers want to see which works better.
BariAges 18 years+ - NCT06137404Enrolling by invitation
Splint comparison for trigger finger
This trial compares two types of hand splints to treat trigger finger: one that blocks the knuckle joint and one that allows limited motion. It tests which splint works better to reduce finger locking.
Hamilton, Waikato RegionAges Any age - NCT07128043Enrolling by invitation
Cassava wax baths for trigger finger pain and function
This study tests whether warm baths made from cassava (tapioca) wax can reduce pain, improve hand function, and help with the catching or locking feeling in people with trigger finger. If you have trigger finger and no other major hand problems, this treatment may offer a gentle, non-surgical option.
Chiang Rai, Tha SutAges 40–70 - NCT05837286Recruiting
Conservative care for trigger finger after steroid shots
This study looks at non-surgical (conservative) treatment options for trigger finger after you’ve already had a cortisone shot in the affected finger(s). It may help determine what approach works best to reduce symptoms without more invasive procedures.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT07516652Recruiting
