Trigger Finger Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Trigger Finger Orthotic Wearing Schedules: A Feasibility Study
A randomized prospective pre-post test case series was chosen for this study. This case
series will provide feasibility data in preparation for a randomized controlled study of this
topic in the future.
The primary research question for this case series is as follows: Do the three proposed
orthotic wearing schedules provide varying results in the reduction of digital triggering
severity and level of pain experienced by those with trigger finger? The following three
orthotic wearing schedules will be investigated: only during waking hours, only while
sleeping, and continuously.
To examine the feasibility of the study the following questions are posed:
What was the length of time required to recruit nine eligible participants for the case
series through the outpatient clinic utilized for this feasibility study? Based upon the rate
of recruitment for the feasibility study, were the initial methods of recruitment adequate or
did additional strategies need to be implemented to recruit a sufficient number of
participants within the desired time frame? Were the orthotics utilized for the study
comfortable to wear and functional for the participants while performing their activities of
daily living? Were the number and type of adverse events including redness, edema, tingling,
or numbness associated with orthotic wear similar across the groups, limited, non-serious,
and did not interfere with orthotic wearing? Did participants wear their orthotics for the
prescribed wearing schedule?
Participants:
Nine participants will be recruited through a convenience sampling of patients as they become
available through referral by physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practioners to the
researcher's clinic for hand therapy, meet the study's eligibility criteria and provide
informed consent to participate in the study. Medical records review will be performed by the
principal investigator who will also be the potential participants' treating therapist.
At the onset of the study and as new referral sources become available, until all nine
participants required for the study are enrolled, project flyers will be provided to
referring physicians, physician assistants and nurse practioners for posting in their offices
and providing to interested potential participants as desired.
Number of participants to be included and/or enrolled in this entire study, across all study
locations: 20 Nine participants are needed for data analysis, however, 20 participants have
been indicated for enrollment to cover for anticipated participant withdrawals and those who
are lost to follow-up.
Age of Subjects: 18 to 85+ Vulnerable participant groups included: None Gender of Subjects:
There are no gender-based enrollment restrictions for this study. Within the limitations
imposed by the population of people with trigger finger, it is intended that there will be an
equal gender distribution of the subjects included in the study.
Racial and Ethnic Origin: There are no race or ethnic-based enrollment restrictions for this
study. Within the limitations imposed by the population of the study site, it is intended
that this study will include sufficient enrollment of persons of diverse racial/ethnic
backgrounds to ensure equitable selection
Study Design:
To examine the feasibility of the study the following questions are posed:
1. What was the length of time required to recruit nine eligible participants for the case
series through the outpatient clinic utilized for this feasibility study?
2. Based upon the rate of recruitment for the feasibility study, were the initial methods
of recruitment adequate or did additional strategies need to be implemented to recruit a
sufficient number of participants within the desired time frame?
3. Were the orthotics utilized for the study comfortable to wear and functional for the
participants while performing their activities of daily living?
4. Were the number and type of adverse events including redness, edema, tingling, or
numbness associated with orthotic wear similar across the groups, limited, non-serious,
and did not interfere with orthotic wearing?
5. Did participants wear their orthotics for the prescribed wearing schedule?
Procedures and Study Visits:
All procedures performed exclusively for the purposes of this study are performed in addition
to the standard of care activities that would occur for all patients being provided with hand
therapy for the treatment of a triggering upper extremity digit regardless of their
participation in a study. These standard of care activities include standard clinical
assessments, provision of an orthotic and wearing schedule, provision of a home exercise
program and follow-up therapy sessions.
At the initial evaluation, consistent with standard of care activities that would occur for
all patients regardless of their participation in a study, demographic data collected on each
participant will include their age, gender, vocation, affected finger(s) and hand(s),
duration of trigger finger symptoms, hand dominance, relevant co-existing diagnoses, and
utilization of anti-inflammatory medications. Also consistent with standard of care
procedures, the participants will be assessed on the outcome measures of severity of digital
triggering and pain level during triggering at the initial evaluation to obtain a baseline
and then reassessed weekly until their time of discharge to permit an assessment of the rate
of recovery across time for each individual as well as for each of the three wearing
schedules. If triggering is not evident (Froimson's [1999] grade I) or if the digit is unable
to be actively unlocked (Froimson's [1999] grade III), the participants pain level during
active composite digital flexion and extension through their full available active range of
motion will be measured as per standard of care procedures. See table 1 for Froimson's (1999)
grading of digital triggering severity.
During the initial evaluation, if the potential participant meets the study criteria they
will be invited to participate in the study. If the potential participant agrees to
participate in the study, they will then be provided with care that is unique to the study
participants and needs to be performed at the time of the initial evaluation including the
following: signing the consent will occur first, followed by completing the QuickDASH
(Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Outcome Measure) being provided with an orthotic
wearing schedule (which may be different if they do not agree to participate in the study), a
home exercise program log and an orthotic wearing log.
All of the participant's questions relevant to the study and necessary to facilitate rational
and thoughtful decision making by the participant will be answered prior to signing the
consent form. Prior to obtaining consent, the prospective participants will be asked if they
sufficiently understand the information provided in order to make an informed decision
regarding whether or not to participate in the research.
Only for the purposes of this research study, the QuickDASH will be completed by the
participant during their initial evaluation and then again during their discharge
re-evaluation to permit a pre-intervention to post-intervention assessment.
As a standard of care activity that would normally occur for all patients with a triggering
upper extremity digit regardless of their participation in a study, during the initial
evaluation visit the participant will also be provided with a custom fabricated thermoplastic
digital joint blocking orthosis. When the triggering of an index, middle ring or small digit
is able to be immediately relieved by blocking the MCP joint into approximately 15 degrees of
flexion, the participant will be provided with a custom MCP joint blocking orthotic that is
secured to the proximal phalanx of the affected digit, crossing the MCP joint and blocking it
at approximately 15 degrees of flexion and leaving the IP joints free. The number of MCP
joints blocked will be determined by the number of triggering digits (Photos 1 and 4). If
blocking of the affected index, middle, ring or small digit MCP joint does not relieve the
triggering or if the participant is unable to tolerate wearing of the MCP blocking orthotic
and the triggering is able to be relieved with isolated blocking of the PIP joint, the
participant will be provided with a custom PIP joint blocking orthotic with the DIP and MCP
joints left free (Photo 5). When the thumb is triggering and is able to be relieved of
triggering by blocking the MCP joint into approximately 15 degrees of flexion, the
participant will be provided with a custom MCP joint blocking with the IP and 1st
carpometacarpal joint left free (Photo 7). If blocking of the thumb MCP joint alone does not
relieve the triggering, both the MCP and IP joints will be blocked by the orthotic, with a
sufficient amount of IP joint flexion permitted to allow thumb opposition to the index,
middle, ring and small digits (Photo 8). If the participant is unable to tolerate wearing of
the thumb MCP and IP blocking orthotic and triggering of the thumb is able to be relieved
with blocking of the thumb IP joint alone, the participant will be provided with a thumb IP
joint blocking orthotic (Photo 6). Figure 1 provides a flow chart illustrating the protocol
that will be followed for this study to guide the decision-making process for selection of
the most appropriate orthotic for the treatment of index through small finger triggering.
Figure 2 provides a flow chart illustrating the protocol that will be followed for selecting
an orthotic for the treatment of triggering thumbs.
Performed exclusively for research purposes, participants will be assigned at entrance to the
study to either wear the orthotic continuously, only during waking hours, or only while
sleeping. There will be three participants in each of the three groups. The first three
participants will each be assigned to a different group through randomization. The remaining
six participants will be assigned to one of the three groups based upon their Froimson's
(1999) grade. The mean Froimson's (1999) trigger finger severity grade will be calculated for
each group and participant assignments will be made as required to keep these means as equal
as possible. Nine participants are needed for data analysis, however, 20 participants have
been indicated for enrollment to cover for anticipated participant withdrawals and those who
are lost to follow-up.
Participants in the continuous wear group will be instructed to wear their orthotic
continuously around the clock as tolerated with removal for hygiene and home exercise program
(HEP) performance. Participants in the day-wear group will be instructed to wear their
orthotic during all waking hours as tolerated, with removal for hygiene, HEP performance, but
not at night while sleeping. In the night-wear group, participants will be told to wear their
orthosis only at night. Consistent with standard of care for the treatment of trigger finger
with an orthotic, all nine of the participants will be instructed to wear their orthotic for
at least six weeks, as tolerated, with continuation of orthotic wear up to 10 weeks if their
triggering has not completely abated.
As a standard of care activity that would normally occur for all patients provided with an
orthotic for the treatment of a triggering upper extremity digit regardless of their
participation in a study, all participants will be educated on how to wear and care for the
orthotic care and to discontinue wear of the orthotic and notify the principle investigator
if they develop any adverse reactions including tingling, numbness, pain, edema or redness at
orthotic wear site that lasts longer than 20 minutes. All participants will be provided with
oral and written orthotic instructions that include their wearing schedule, precautions and
care.
Performed for the purposes this study, to facilitate monitoring and measuring of orthotic
wearing time, reasons for deviation from the wearing instructions and comfort of the
orthotic, the participants will be instructed to keep a daily log of their orthotic donning
and doffing consisting of time, date, reason for removing, comfort with wear, and
functionality of the orthotic while performing their activities of daily living (Tarbhai et
al., 2012; Valdes, 2012). The comfort of the orthotic will be rated on the following 0-3
scale: 0 (comfortable); 1 (uncomfortable with some activities); 2 (uncomfortable with most
activities); 3 (uncomfortable with all activities). Adverse events including pain, redness,
edema, tingling and numbness associated with wearing of the orthotic will be recorded on the
daily log at the participants' earliest opportunity to increase the accuracy of the
recording. Pain associated with wearing of the orthotic will be measured with the use of the
NPRS. The participants functional use of their hand while wearing their orthotic to perform
activities will be measured on a 0-3 scale: 0 (no difficulty); 1 (difficulty with some
activities); 2 (difficulty with most activities); 3 (unable to do any activities while the
orthotic is worn).
Participants will be instructed to complete the orthotic daily log at the following times:
(a) The daily wear group as well as the continuous wear group will complete the log before
retiring for the days longest sleeping period; (b) the participants wearing the orthotic only
while sleeping will be instructed to fill out the log upon awakening. The orthotic daily log
data will be collected by the investigator at six, eight and ten weeks after the
participants' initial evaluation.
Consistent with standard of care activities, each participant will be provided with a HEP.
Each HEP will include digital range of motion (ROM) and tendon gliding, including passive
isolated and composite MCP, PIP and DIP flexion and extension, and active hook fist followed
by active composite MCP and IP extension exercises (Colbourn et al., 2008; Evans et al.,
1988; Valdes, 2012). If triggering is experienced during the HEP with the assigned active or
passive ROM exercises, the participant will be instructed to only range the triggering digit
through the active and / or passive non-triggering range.
Performed for the purposes of this study, to permit an estimation of the participants'
compliance with their prescribed HEP performance schedule, the participants will be asked to
complete a daily check-box log indicating their performance as most closely resembling one of
the following: (a) as prescribed; (b) yes, but less than prescribed; or (c) not performed.
The participants will be instructed to complete the HEP log before retiring for the days
longest sleeping period. The HEP performance data will be collected by the investigator at
six, eight and ten weeks after the participants' initial evaluation.
Follow-up therapy sessions, consistent with standard of care activities that would occur for
all patients with a triggering upper extremity digit regardless of their participation in a
study, will include the following: digital tendon gliding, ROM, edema reduction, HEP training
and reinforcement as needed, inspection of the participant's skin for signs of adverse
reaction to wearing of the orthotic, and modification of the orthotic or wearing schedule if
necessary.
Procedure Frequency, Duration and Setting:
Participants will be provided with treatment sessions lasting approximately 45 minutes,
occurring approximately twice per week, and for a duration of approximately 6-10 weeks with
the end point of therapy being dependent upon complete resolution or plateauing of the
participants progress with digital triggering. All study visits are also standard of care in
that no subject in this study will require more visits than they would have required if they
were not enrolled in this study.
The research procedures will be conducted at the Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center outpatient
rehabilitation facility located at 752 Medical Center Court, Suite 303, Chula Vista,
California, 91911.
Table 1: Froimson's (1999) grading of digital triggering severity Grade I - Pain associated
with pre-triggering. Tenderness to palpation over the first annular pulley. Reported history
of digital triggering, although not reproducible during clinical examination.
Grade II - Digital triggering occurs, although, digit can be unlocked with active extension.
Grade III - Digital triggering occurs and passive extension is necessary to unlock the digit,
or active flexion is unable to be performed at the digit.
Grade IV - Digital triggering of the interphalangeal joint is unable to be unlocked with
active or passive movement.
Data Analysis:
To assist with determining the feasibility of the study, the following data analyses will be
reported through descriptive statistics:
The rate at which participants become available for the study. The participants' functional
use of their hand and comfort while wearing their orthotic.
The participants' percentage compliance with their prescribed wearing schedules.
The participants' percentage compliance with their HEP performance schedule
Descriptive statistics will be utilized in this case series to describe the characteristics
of participants' demographics, the adherence to the HEP, examine the data for changes in the
outcome measurements for each of the participants across the 6 - 10 weeks of study, and to
summarize the data to address the studies research question. The participants' pain and
severity of digital triggering measurements, performed weekly across the 10 weeks of the
study, will be calculated and reported for the mean and rate of change at each measurement
period across time for each individual as well as for each of the three wearing schedule
groups. The effect size for each group and between pairs of groups will be calculated for
changes in pain, severity of digital triggering, and changes in physical function as measured
through the QuickDASH.
The principal investigator of this study will be responsible for the analytical / statistical
tasks.
Data Collection/ Assessment Instruments:
Master List: The Master List is a participant data sheet for all nine participants which
permits the correlation of each of the nine participants with their subject ID, medical
record number, and telephone number. The principal investigator will be the only individual
with access to the Master List. The Master List was developed specifically for this study.
The master list will be kept separate from the outcome data.
Orthotic Daily Log: A daily log to be completed by the participant of their orthotic schedule
wearing compliance as well as their comfort level and functional use of their hand while
wearing your orthotic. The Orthotic Daily Log was developed specifically for this study.
Home Exercise Program (HEP) Daily Log: A daily log completed by the participant of their home
exercise program compliance. The HEP Daily Log was developed specifically for this study.
OCTH Project Data Collection Sheet: Participant data collection sheet for all nine
participants, which will be identified only by subject ID#, permits documentation of orthotic
type, gender, age (recorded as ">89" if >90 yo), trigger grade, pain, wearing schedule, and
QuickDash Score. The OCTH Project Data Collection Sheet was developed specifically for this
study.
Quick Dash: An eleven-item outcome measure survey of the participants symptoms and ability to
perform activities completed by the participant at the time of their initial evaluation and
then again at the time of their discharge from therapy to permit a pre-intervention to
post-intervention assessment. The QuickDash has been validated and is commonly used for
research purposes (Beaton et al., 2005).
Data Collection Resources:
All participant data collected will be performed by the principal investigator who will also
be the treating therapist providing direct patient care for the participants of the study.
Data Sources:
Review of Sharp HealthCare electronic and paper medical records, physician office records,
laboratory test results, diagnostic test results, radiographic imaging studies including
radiology reports and radiographic images.
Privacy of Subjects:
Subjects will be recruited from the principal investigators patient population as they become
available through referral for therapy and will be contacted while in the outpatient
rehabilitation clinic at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center where the research study will be
conducted and the participants will be attending therapy.
A medical records review will be performed by the investigator who will also be the potential
participants treating therapist. A Waiver of Authorization will be requested as the
investigator will need to review the medical records prior to meeting the potential
participants in order to determine if basic eligibility criteria are met. The medical records
review will include Sharp HealthCare paper and electronic medical records, and physician
office records. Data collected will include the names for the subjects, elements of dates
directly related to the subject, medical record numbers, and the subject's medical
information.
During the initial evaluation and follow-up treatment sessions information will be obtained
from the subject to evaluate, assess, treat and monitor the progress of their triggering
finger(s). The subject will be evaluated and treated in an open gym area where other patients
will be receiving therapy, or the subject may be provided with treatment in a private room if
preferred by the subject. Only the subject's upper extremities need to be exposed for the
evaluation and treatment of their triggering finger(s).
Confidentiality of Data and Storage:
Each subject will be provided with a coded, sequentially numbered subject ID to maintain the
confidentiality of identifiable subject information.
The subjects' identity will be kept on a Master List and will remain separate from their
data. The Master List will be maintained by John Avery who is the principal investigator. The
master list will remain physically locked in a secure metal cabinet located at the research
site that only the principal investigator, who will also be the treating therapist, will have
access to.
Upon completion of the study, all of the participants' identifiers will be destroyed which is
anticipated to be 06/01/2020.
Subjects will be identified on research-related forms as follows: Master List: Subject ID,
Name, MRN; HEP and Orthotic Daily Log: Subject ID only; OCTH Project Data Collection Sheet:
Subject ID, Gender, Age (">89" if >90 yo).
The subject's names, social security number, medical record number, Sharp financial
identification number (FIN), and any identifier (other than subjects' study identification
number) will not be sent off site. This data will not be used for any other purpose, other
than that for which the subjects will be consented.
Benefits to Individual Subjects:
Benefits to the subjects as a direct result of participating in the study include a more
intensive monitoring of their progress and compliance with their orthotic wear and home
exercise program.
Potential Benefits (Value) to Society:
This case series will provide feasibility data in preparation for a randomized controlled
study of this topic in the future. Practitioners can use the information obtained through
this case series as a platform for further inquiry regarding the efficacy of various wearing
schedules.
Risk Category: Minimal
Potential Risks:
All risks to the participants are no greater than what would be expected clinically for
participants not participating in the study, except for a slightly increased risk of loss of
confidentiality due to increased assessment associated with the study.
Potential risk includes one or more of the subjects developing a pressure wound or discomfort
from wearing of the custom fabricated thermoplastic orthotic on their hand.
The risk of developing a pressure wound or discomfort is associated with pressure and shear
of the orthotic against the participant's tissue and the risk increases as the amount of
pressure, shear and time under pressure increases.
A subject's risk for developing discomfort or a pressure wound may increase if the subject
forcefully and / or repetitively flexes their digit while wearing an orthotic on it such as
during a waking activity or while sleeping.
The potential for a subject to experience a pressure wound or discomfort secondary to wearing
of their digital orthotic may be greater with continuous wear relative to wearing only while
awake or while sleeping due to the increased total amount of time the orthotic is donned.
However, a subject's individual risk level will vary depending upon the activity the subject
engages in and the duration and force applied through their digit against the thermoplastic
orthotic during the activity.
The estimated probability of one or more of the subjects developing a pressure wound is low,
and the estimated potential for reversibility is typically high.
Protection Against Risks:
The potential for the risk of any of the subjects experiencing a pressure wound will be
minimized by each orthotic being carefully custom designed to fit the individual subjects,
carefully monitoring the subjects for any complications related to orthotic wear, and
educating the subjects on how to wear and care for the orthotic care and to discontinue wear
of the orthotic if they develop any adverse reactions including tingling, numbness, pain,
edema or redness at orthotic wear site that lasts longer than 20 minutes.
The orthotics to be issued to the subjects who elect to be in the study are standard of care
for the treatment of trigger finger and will be fabricated only by the principle
investigator.
The orthotics will be fabricated and issued within the hand clinic treatment area during a
subject's treatment appointment.
The orthotics are fabricated from a flat piece of thermoplastic which is stored in an
unlocked cabinet within the hand therapy treatment area of an open outpatient rehabilitation
gym.
Fabricated orthotics for a participant will not be stored within the clinic.
The custom orthotic is not a significant risk device, because all of the following are true:
The orthotic is NOT intended as an implant that presents a potential for serious risk to the
health, safety, or welfare of a subject.
The orthotic is NOT purported or represented to be for a use in supporting or sustaining
human life that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a
subject.
The orthotic is NOT for a use of substantial importance in diagnosing, curing, mitigating, or
treating disease, or otherwise preventing impairment of human health that presents a
potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or welfare of a subject.
The orthotic is does NOT otherwise present a potential for serious risk to the health,
safety, or welfare of a subject.
The orthitic is not a banned medical device. The custom fabricated thermoplastic digital
orthotic that will be fabricated and issued by the principle investigator of this study to
participants with trigger finger is a standard of care for the treatment of trigger finger
and has not been banned.
The custom orthotic that will be issued to the participants will be worn externally on the
triggering digit(s) and are not purported or represented to be for use in supporting or
sustaining human life that presents a potential for serious risk to the health, safety, or
welfare of a subject.
I do not believe that trigger finger, in and of itself, presents a potential for serious risk
to the health, safety, or welfare of a subject.
I do not believe that use of the custom thermoplastic orthotic to be issued by the principle
investigator this study to the subjects of this study subjects presents a serious risk to
their health, safety or welfare.

or not to participate in the research.
Potential participants will be allowed approximately 30 minutes during their initial
evaluation / treatment session to decide they wish to participate in the research study.
After the first 30 minutes of the participants 45 minute appointment, if the potential
participant meets the study criteria and agrees to participate in the study, they will then
be provided with care that is unique to the study participants and needs to be performed at
the time of the initial evaluation including the following: signing the consent; completing
the DASH; being provided with an orthotic wearing schedule (which may be different if they do
not agree to participate in the study); a home exercise program log; and an orthotic wearing
log. Additional time cannot be permitted beyond the 30 minutes provided to the participants
to decide if they want to participate in the study due to the need to begin treatment during
