Active vs. Passive Hand Therapy After Tendon Repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different hand therapy programs after a tendon repair in one finger. It will help determine which movement approach—active or passive—works best for recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 25 and 50 years old.
- You had surgery to repair a tendon in just one finger—not your thumb.
- The surgery must have happened 2–3 days ago.
- You cannot have a disease like rheumatoid arthritis that affects hand joints.
- You cannot have other injuries to the finger, like a broken bone or major skin loss.

This study tests a gentle massage technique called myofascial release to see if it reduces pain, improves grip strength, and helps hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. It may help people who are in the later stages of hand rehabilitation.
This study looks at outcomes—how well treatment works—after injuries to the finger or thumb flexor tendons. If your injury happened in a certain location of the tendon and you meet other safety criteria, your care and results may help improve future treatment.
