Surgery to prevent scarring in trigger finger
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether doing a limited surgery in advance can improve outcomes and reduce scarring for people with trigger finger who also have a specific palm cord condition. It may help you heal better if you’ve already tried non-surgical treatment or chose surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be diagnosed with trigger finger plus an additional cord in the palm called the pretendinous cord
- You must have either tried non-surgical treatment first and it didn’t work, or you chose surgery
- You must be an adult (18 years or older)

This trial looks at using radiation after contracture-release surgery for people with Dupuytren’s disease. It may help prevent the hand tightening from coming back and improve hand function.
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure that uses a needle to release tight tissue in the hand, and may include a steroid injection. It aims to improve hand finger straightening for people with Dupuytren’s contracture.
This trial tests a less invasive procedure using a needle-knife guided by ultrasound to treat Dupuytren's contracture, which causes fingers to curl. It may be an option if you haven't had prior treatment on the same hand and are in otherwise good health.
This trial checks whether wearing a night splint after a specific procedure for Dupuytren’s contracture helps keep your fingers straighter. It’s meant to reduce the chance of the hand contracting again during recovery.
This study tests if a short course of radiation therapy can help prevent Dupuytren's contracture from coming back after a non-surgical release (like an injection). It may be an option for people whose finger is already bent and cannot touch the table.
This study looks at whether wearing a series of splints before surgery, along with education and hand therapy, can improve outcomes for people with Dupuytren's contracture. It may help reduce stiffness and make recovery easier after fasciectomy surgery.
