Comparing two surgeries for trigger finger that hasn't improved
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical techniques for treating a single trigger finger that hasn't gotten better with non-surgical treatments. The goal is to find out which surgery works better to relieve the triggering and restore smooth finger movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single trigger finger (not multiple fingers).
- You have tried conservative treatment (like splinting or a steroid shot) and it didn't help, OR symptoms came back after conservative treatment.
- You did not have limited movement in that finger before the triggering started.
- You do not have osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- You are not having another hand procedure (like carpal tunnel release) at the same time.

This study tests a low-level laser treatment (a form of light therapy) to see if it helps reduce pain and improve movement in people with trigger finger. It is a non-invasive option that may offer symptom relief without shots or surgery.
This trial tests two different surgical techniques for treating trigger finger, a condition where a finger gets stuck or clicks when you bend it. The study compares the outcomes of two ways surgeons can release the tight tissue causing the problem.
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 study compares nonsurgical treatments (like exercises, splints, or injections) for trigger finger. It aims to find which conservative approach works best for mild cases without surgery.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for trigger finger: shockwave therapy (using sound waves to help the finger move smoothly) and splinting (wearing a small brace to rest the finger). The goal is to see which works better at reducing pain and improving movement.
