Dupuytren's Contracture of the Hand (Viking's Disease) Clinical Trial
Official title:
Distal Extremity (Wrist) Nerve Blocks With a Mixture of Liposome Bupivacaine + Bupivacaine Versus Bupivacaine Alone for Patients Having Dupuytren's Contracture Release: a Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial
Treatment of Dupuytren's contracture requires multiple injections into the palm of the hand to weaken the cords, followed by rupture of the strands 2 days later. Anesthesia is required for both phases of treatment. It is hypothesized that extended-release liposome bupivacaine prolongs nerve blockade of the wrist allowing patients to undergo this 2-part regimen with less pain.
