Splint for stiff finger joints after injury
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special splint called a 'relative motion orthosis' can help people regain movement in a stiff finger joint after an injury or surgery. If you have a recent finger joint problem and are willing to do hand therapy, this trial may help you recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- The middle joint of one of your fingers is stiff and doesn't move as much as it should.
- The problem started within the last 6 weeks, either from an injury or surgery.
- Only one hand is affected.
- You can understand German, French, or English.
- You can receive hand therapy at Inselspital in Bern, Switzerland.
- You do not have other finger joint conditions, like arthritis or previous injuries, that could affect the results.

This study tests whether a special splint (called a relative motion orthosis) can help improve how straight you can straighten a finger that has been injured. It focuses on people with stiffness in the middle finger joint.
This trial tracks how well the KeriFlex® implant works over time in people who need a finger joint replacement due to arthritis or injury. It aims to see if the implant helps reduce pain and improve hand function.
This study tests different ways to manage injuries to the middle joint of a finger. It may help you recover better and reduce pain or stiffness.
This trial studies a new implant (the CapFlex) to replace a damaged finger joint (the PIP joint) when conservative treatments are not enough. It may help reduce pain and improve stability for the right type of joint problem.
This study compares two types of splints (one that stays still and one that lets you move a little) to help people regain wrist motion after a broken wrist has healed. It may test whether a dynamic splint works better than a static one for persistent stiffness.
This study is for people who need a second operation to replace a failed artificial joint in the finger (proximal interphalangeal joint). The goal is to give these patients an option when other joint replacements are not suitable, especially if they use their hands for heavy activities.
