View clinical trials related to Dupuytren's Disease.
Filter by:Dupuytren disease is a fibroproliferative condition of the palmar and digital fascia. A collagen containing cord forms which can lead to fixed flexion contracture of one or more fingers. While there is no cure, many treatment options are available to manage symptoms. One of these options is injectable collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH). CCH is a combination of two highly selective microbial collagenases that can disrupt collagen types I and III usually found in cords. Current standard of care after receiving a CCH injection is daily hand exercises and use of a static night brace for four months. However, there is limited evidence that use of a night splint after CCH injection has any benefit post-treatment. The goal of our randomized, controlled trial, is to determine the clinical effectiveness of splinting after CCH injection. Study subjects will be adults 18 years of age or older with Dupuytren disease and contracture of one or more digits. Treatment includes collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection for Dupuytren flexion contraction, with randomization to static night splint or no splint.
A study to validate two newly developed questionnaires for Dupuytren's Disease. The objective is to develop a patient specific outcomes tool for Dupuytren's Disease. While there are standard and validated questionnaire instruments used to measure health related quality of life and function, they do not address patient specific issues. The investigators will also pilot a treatment/disease specific satisfaction questionnaire for Xiaflex use for Dupuytren's Disease.
