Comparing hand therapy methods after thumb tendon surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares different rehabilitation programs after surgery for a cut thumb tendon (the one that bends your thumb). It aims to find which therapy approach helps patients recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a clean cut (not a crush or tear) of the main thumb flexor tendon in certain areas of your thumb.
- You are over 15 years old and can understand spoken and written Swedish.
- Your tendon repair surgery was done within 14 days of the injury.
- You do not have a tendon defect that needs a graft, other major hand injuries, or an active infection.
- You are considered able to cooperate with early active hand therapy (no cognitive issues or substance abuse concerns).
