Capacitive and resistive therapy for flexor tendon repair recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of physical therapy using special energy (capacitive and resistive) can reduce pain and improve movement after surgery to repair a flexor tendon in the finger. It might help you recover better after your tendon repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 35 years old.
- You have had surgery to directly repair a flexor tendon in your finger (the tendon that helps bend your finger).
- Your surgeon has referred you to this study.
- You do not have other injuries to the same finger, such as nerve damage, broken bones, or serious crush injuries.
- You do not have any pre-existing condition that limits joint movement.
- You are not allergic to the special cream used during the treatment.

This study compares two different hand therapy programs after a tendon repair in one finger. It will help determine which movement approach—active or passive—works best for recovery.
This study tests a type of physical therapy called TECAR (transfer energy capacitive and resistive therapy) for Dupuytren's contracture, a condition where cords form in the palm and bend fingers. The goal is to see if it can help reduce finger bending without surgery.
This trial studies if combining task-oriented exercises with mirror therapy helps people recover hand movement better after flexor tendon repair surgery. It is for working-age adults who had a direct repair of a flexor tendon in their hand.
This study tests a special therapy that uses energy (capacitive and resistive) to improve hand function in people who have carpal tunnel syndrome after a burn injury. The goal is to see if this treatment can help you use your hand better.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called TECAR therapy for people with chronic shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses energy to help reduce pain and improve healing. You may qualify if you have had shoulder pain for at least a month and are not able to have surgery.
This trial tests a new way to repair cut flexor tendons in the hand that doesn't require a splint afterward. It may help you avoid long-term stiffness and get back to using your hand sooner.
