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 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 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 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 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.
