Trigger finger is a mechanical problem characterized by pain and catching of digit in flexion. Histological changes of A1 pulley and synovial proliferation have been identified as factors that prompt trigger finger The first-line treatment of trigger finger is conservative with splinting and corticosteroid injection. If the first infiltration fails, either a second infiltration or surgical sectioning of the pulley is proposed. Surgery can be performed by several techniques (open section, percutaneous section with palpatory guidance, or under ultrasound guidance). Percutaneous A1 pulley release under ultrasound guidance consists of cutting the A1 pulley by a percutaneous insertion with small needle under local anaesthesia. The hypothesis of the study is that percutaneous A1 pulley release under ultrasound guidance followed by a corticosteroid injection would be more effective than a second corticosteroid injection alone on complete resolution of the trigger finger symptoms
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of Xylocaine impregnated compress in reducing per-procedural pain during ultrasound-guided infiltration of Trigger Finger
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of conservative rehabilitation on the multi-dimensional health components based on WHO ICF model in Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3 trigger finger and to determine the functional recovery patterns of each dimension during a three-month rehabilitation period. Thirty-four patients were participated in the study.
Two common corticosteroids used for trigger finger treatment are betamethasone and methylprednisolone. Both injections are effective in treating trigger finger and the decision of which to use in treatment is currently a matter of the current practice and physician preference. The goal through this randomized trial is to see whether there is a difference between these two corticosteroids in inducing flare reactions and if there are any differences in the peak level of pain and their duration. Findings indicating a statistically significant difference in the incidence and/or intensity of the flare reactions would be clinically significant and would be evidence supporting the switch of current practice to one corticosteroid over the other.
Trigger finger is the common name of stenosing tenosynovitis of fingers, caused by repetitive trauma. Conservative treatment includes NSAIDs or other analgesic agents, activity modification, splint, and physiotherapy. Operation could be considered if conservative treatments fails. With literature reviewed, there is no treatment which is both non-invasive and effective, and also could avoid recurrence well. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy could induce angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory reaction, and recruitment of fibroblast. Although extracorporeal shock wave has been utilized in musculoskeletal diseases for more than twenty years, there is no well-designed clinical trial to prove the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave in treating trigger finger. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy with traditional physical therapy for the management of trigger finger.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of resection of one or both slips of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon versus the A1 pulley division.
The aim of the study is to compare the therapeutic effects of hyaluronic acid versus steroid injections in treating trigger fingers using ultrasound guidance
This is a prospective randomized multicenterstudy focusing on PROMs after primary corticoid injection for triggerfinger with a comparison of two different injection techniques.
Previous research has shown that YouTube is a poor source of high-quality medical information. This is likely because there is no regulation of the content on YouTube and relatively little of the content is posted by qualified medical professionals. It is known that up to 30% of patients use the internet to research the procedure they will be having and given the increasing popularity of YouTube we suspect many patients are using YouTube or similar sites as a source of information prior to elective surgery. There are likely a number of patient factors that contribute to patients seeking out videos as a source of pre-operative medical information. Patient age, which is generally inversely correlated to computer literacy, may have a role. Patient anxiety and pre-operative worrying may cause a patient to turn to the internet to search for information, and the poor overall quality of the content available may worsen pre-operative anxiety. The primary objective of this study is to determine if providing patients with a reliable, high-quality video about their condition and operation prior to surgery reduces pre-operative anxiety. Secondary aims are to determine the percentage of patients that independently seek out videos online as a source of medical information prior to elective hand surgery, identify patient attributes that are associated with this behavior, and understand if introducing high quality pre-surgical videos has an impact on post-operative patient outcomes and/or patient engagement. The investigators hypothesize that providing patients with high-quality pre-operative videos will reduce pre-operative anxiety. Its is also expected that patients who seek out videos on their own for pre-operative medical information will be younger and have higher anxiety levels and pain catastrophizing scores. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that patients who watch high-quality pre-operative videos may have better short term post-operative outcomes and greater engagement in their care than their counterparts that did not watch videos or who sought out videos on their own.
