Radiation for Dupuytren's after non-surgical release
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your affected finger cannot lay flat on a table with your palm

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 study tests whether a new injectable enzyme called CNT201 can safely and effectively treat Dupuytren's contracture—a condition where fingers curl and can't straighten. The injection aims to break down the thick tissue cords causing the problem, without surgery.
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.
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.
