Ultrasound study of Dupuytren's disease nodules
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to look at Dupuytren's disease nodules and track changes over 6 months. It may help doctors understand which nodules are active and need treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a diagnosis of Dupuytren's disease with mild to moderate finger bending (less than 90 degrees).
- Your Dupuytren's nodules should be more soft than firm (not hard).
- Your disease has gotten worse recently (nodule growth or bending increased, or you're worried about hand function).
- You have not had any prior surgery or needle treatment for Dupuytren's in the hand being studied.
- You agree not to have any surgical treatment for Dupuytren's during the 6-month study period.
- You must be willing to return for a follow-up visit after 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a treatment for people with Dupuytren disease who have a lump (nodule) in their palm but no finger bending yet. It aims to see if the lump can shrink and prevent the disease from getting worse.
This study looks at tiny nerves in Dupuytren disease and whether removing them during surgery helps prevent the disease from coming back. It may help you understand if this surgical approach is right for you.
This study looks at people with Dupuytren's disease (a condition where the fingers bend inward) who are scheduled for a needle procedure to straighten the fingers. Researchers want to track what happens after treatment to better understand the disease.
This trial looks at whether a minimally invasive needle procedure can improve hand stiffness caused by Dupuytren’s disease. It may help reduce finger bending that affects how you use your hand.
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.
This study looks at whether a specific hand/cord procedure called aponeurectomy can lower how often Dupuytren’s disease comes back within 2 years. You might be offered surgery and then followed to see how well your symptoms and tightness improve and how often they return.
