Night splinting after a minimally invasive hand release
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older.
- You have Dupuytren’s contracture in one or two fingers (not the thumb).
- Your finger joints are stiff in a specific range (not too mild, not too severe): at least 30° at the MCP and/or 20° at the PIP, but not above 75°.
- You have a strand you can feel, but it’s not a wide or multiple strand pattern across the palm.
- Your condition fits early stages (Tubiana stage 1 or 2, not stage 3 or 4).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study looks at people with Dupuytren's disease (a condition where the fingers bend inward) who are scheduled for a needle procedure to straighten the fingers. Researchers want to track what happens after treatment to better understand the disease.
This study looks at whether a specific hand/cord procedure called aponeurectomy can lower how often Dupuytren’s disease comes back within 2 years. You might be offered surgery and then followed to see how well your symptoms and tightness improve and how often they return.
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 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 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.
