Clinical Trial Description

Trigger finger is a common disorder of the hand which causes pain at the A1 pulley, inflammation, stiffness or snapping during movement. This can be very debilitating. Current treatment includes local steroid injection, oral NSAIDS, resting orthoses, physical or occupational therapy and surgical intervention. The aim of this prospective study with an observational design was to determine the outcome between surgical, hand therapy rehabilitation, and corticosteroid injection interventions for trigger finger. There were 6 treatment groups: surgery, corticosteroid injection, 1 visit of hand therapy for orthosis fabrication and therapeutic exercise, hand therapy in combination with cortisone injection, Modality hand therapy alone (ongoing visits) or with corticosteroid injections. ;
