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.
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.
This trial compares two injections for knee osteoarthritis: one made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) and a standard steroid shot. It aims to see which works better for people with mild to moderate knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
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.
This study tests whether a special injection made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma) can reduce thumb-base arthritis pain better than a placebo (fake) injection. You might qualify if other treatments like hand therapy or a splint have already failed.
