Comparing treatments for trigger finger
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares three non-surgical treatments for a single trigger finger: a splint, paraffin wax, and a type of mud therapy. It aims to find which works best for improving finger movement and reducing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old and willing to take part.
- You have a single trigger finger that is grade 2 or 3 (meaning it sometimes catches or locks but can still be moved).
- You have not had any injections or surgery for trigger finger in the last 6 months.
- You are not currently taking steroids or NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or naproxen).
- You do not have other hand conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or Dupuytren's contracture.

This study compares nonsurgical treatments (like exercises, splints, or injections) for trigger finger. It aims to find which conservative approach works best for mild cases without surgery.
This trial tests if paraffin wax baths and peloidotherapy (mud therapy) help reduce symptoms of mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome (a hand nerve condition). It may be a good fit if you haven't had prior wrist surgery, steroid injections, or other nerve problems.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for trigger finger: shockwave therapy (using sound waves to help the finger move smoothly) and splinting (wearing a small brace to rest the finger). The goal is to see which works better at reducing pain and improving movement.
This trial compares two types of hand splints to treat trigger finger: one that blocks the knuckle joint and one that allows limited motion. It tests which splint works better to reduce finger locking.
This study tests a structured hand exercise program to see if it can reduce pain and improve finger movement in people with trigger finger, offering a non-surgical option to manage symptoms.
This study compares two treatments for trigger finger: a special hand splint and shockwave therapy (a non-invasive treatment that uses sound waves to help the finger move smoothly). Researchers want to see which works better.
