Clinical Trial Summary

Dupuytren's contracture (DC) is associated with progressive finger flexion and extension deficit caused by fibrosis in the palm and digits. Treatment options include minimally invasive procedures such as percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) and collagenase clostridium histolyticum injections as well as open fasciectomy. PNF has recently become more popular in Sweden because it is an office-based procedure which is relatively easy to perform without the usual risks and costs of open surgery. After treatment with PNF patients usually continue with supervised rehabilitation, which includes physical therapy and night splinting. Whether night splinting is beneficial in terms of reducing recurrence of DC is currently debated. This study aims to investigate whether night splinting after performed PNF helps to reduce recurrence rate or not. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups: The first group will be treated as usual with physical therapy and night splinting after PNF. The second group will be treated with physical therapy without night splinting after PNF. Follow up includes physical examination regarding active range of motion, sensation and grip strength at procedure day and 2 weeks, 3, 12 and 36 months later as well as questionnaires regarding hand function, pain and quality of life at procedure day and 3, 12 and 36 months later. Patients who are randomized into the second group (no night splinting) will also be examined 3 weeks after PNF for observation in case of an early impairment regarding extension deficit.
