Splint for Finger Stiffness Study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special splint (called a relative motion orthosis) can help improve how straight you can straighten a finger that has been injured. It focuses on people with stiffness in the middle finger joint.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a finger injury that limits how straight you can straighten the middle joint of your finger.
- Your injury happened between 4 weeks and 6 months ago.
- You can understand and follow instructions in English.
- You do not have nerve damage or deep cuts on the injured finger.
- Your finger is not completely stuck (it can still move a little when you try to straighten it).

This study tests whether a special splint called a 'relative motion orthosis' can help people regain movement in a stiff finger joint after an injury or surgery. If you have a recent finger joint problem and are willing to do hand therapy, this trial may help you recover better.
This study compares two types of splints (one that stays still and one that lets you move a little) to help people regain wrist motion after a broken wrist has healed. It may test whether a dynamic splint works better than a static one for persistent stiffness.
This study compares two different positions for a hand splint after flexor tendon surgery. It aims to find which wrist position helps you heal better and move your finger sooner.
This study tests whether a custom-made plastic splint or a fabric splint works better for a specific thumb deformity (boutonniere deformity) in women with rheumatoid arthritis. The goal is to see which type of splint helps straighten the thumb and improve function.
This trial is testing different ways to manage a common finger injury, specifically involving the middle joint (PIP joint). It aims to find the best approach to help you recover movement and function.
This study compares two ways to treat certain finger bone fractures: using a small pin through the skin or using a splint. It also looks at early movement to help prevent stiffness and improve hand function.
