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).

This study looks at whether specific hand exercises can improve thumb movement and finger dexterity after a tendon injury. It may help you recover better if you have had a thumb tendon injury and are otherwise healthy in that arm.
This study tests whether using virtual reality along with hand exercises can help you recover better after surgery to repair the tendons that bend your fingers. It may make your rehabilitation more engaging and effective.
This study compares two different types of cuts (incisions) surgeons make when repairing a tendon in the hand. The goal is to find out which cut leads to better healing and finger movement after surgery.
This study tests a therapy program that combines task-oriented exercises with mirror therapy (using a mirror to help trick the brain) after surgery to repair a hand tendon. It aims to help improve hand movement and function.
This study looks at outcomes after an EPL tendon rupture that happens with a distal radius (wrist) fracture. It may help improve how thumb function is treated and measured after this specific type of injury.
