Dupuytren's contracture treatment study at Yale
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat Dupuytren's contracture, a condition where fingers bend toward the palm. It may help improve hand function and reduce the need for surgery.

This study combines a special schedule of radiation therapy with new cancer treatments (CAR T cells or bispecific antibodies) for adults whose lymphoma has come back or not responded. The radiation is given in small doses twice a day to help the treatment work better.
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 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.
This study looks at how Dupuytren's disease progresses over time. It tests a common needle procedure and aims to help doctors predict which patients may benefit most.
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 minimally invasive procedure that uses a needle to release tight tissue in the hand, and may include a steroid injection. It aims to improve hand finger straightening for people with Dupuytren’s contracture.
