Ultrasound-guided needle knife for Dupuytren's contracture
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Dupuytren's contracture (a condition causing fingers to bend inward).
- You are willing to have a needle-knife procedure guided by ultrasound.
- You have not had surgery or a needle treatment for this condition on the same hand before.
- You do not have an active hand infection, open wound, or skin issue in the area.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder and can safely pause blood thinners if needed.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have uncontrolled health problems like diabetes or heart disease.

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 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 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.
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.
