Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate a new noninvasive technique that patients may use to help reduce the pain that they experience during cortisone injections for trigger fingers. It will also help provide information that may help support the gate control theory of pain as a framework for understanding and managing acute pain.The main questions it aims to answer are: Can a physical stimulus near the site of cortisone injection reduce the pain experienced by the patient during the injection? Does the physical stimulation or the cognitive distraction contribute more to pain relief? Researchers will compare a physical stimulus near the injection site to a placebo (a similar task that theoretically should not reduce the experience of pain) to see if physical stimuli work to improve pain during injections. Participants will: Estimate how much pain they expect to experience during a cortisone injection Receive a cortisone injection for a trigger finger while performing one of three possible actions (control, placebo task, or the investigated physical stimulus near the injection site) Express how much pain they actually experienced during the injection
The aim of the study is to compare the effectiveness of peritendinous steroid injection under ultrasound guidance and percutaneous A1 pulley release procedures in terms of disease stage, pain, and severity of locking in patients with trigger finger.
Background: Percutaneous A1 pulley release is a cost-effective and straightforward procedure with outcomes comparable to open A1 pulley release. Postoperative pain is a prevalent concern. Corticosteroid injection is a common nonoperative treatment for trigger finger, providing favorable outcomes but associated with a notable risk of recurrence. Numerous studies have explored the combined approach of percutaneous trigger finger release with corticosteroid injection. However, to date, there is no report on early postoperative results. Objective: To conduct a comparative analysis of early postoperative outcomes between percutaneous A1 pulley release with steroid injection and percutaneous A1 pulley release alone. Study Design & Methods: This study constitutes a randomized controlled trial involving patients with trigger finger who underwent percutaneous release surgery from October 2023 to January 2024. A total of 38 patients were enrolled, with 18 assigned to the percutaneous A1 pulley release with steroid injection group and 20 to the percutaneous A1 pulley release alone group. Postoperative assessments included pain scores using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), evaluation of quality of life through the QuickDASH score (qDASH), patient satisfaction, and complications.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether adding Lidocaine to Corticosteroid injections reduce pain intensity in hand surgery.
RME orthosis is recommended for the treatment of trigger finger. However, its efficacy has not been studied in trigger finger patients. Given the increasing popularity of this orthosis among clinicians, it is important to evaluate their effectiveness to provide evidence for its use in trigger finger. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of a 6-week orthotic intervention in a randomly selected group of patients with trigger finger using MCP-blocking and RME orthoses.
Our aim in this study; to compare the ultrasound findings seen in trigger finger patients with healthy volunteers. Thus, ultrasound findings associated with trigger finger development will be documented
This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of dry needling on quality of life in patients with trigger finger
Carpal Tunnel (CT) syndrome is a collection of characteristic symptoms and signs that occurs following compression of the median nerve within the CT. In Trigger Finger / trigger thumb (TF), one of the most common causes of hand pain and disability, the flexor tendon causes painful popping or snapping as the patient flexes and extends the digit. In case of failure of non-operative treatments, patients with CT syndrome or TF are operated. Clearly any improvement in surgical device design would be of great advantage to the patient and the surgeon. Spirecut's single use, pre-CE Sono-Instruments (SI) allow the percutaneous treatment of Carpal Tunnel (CT)syndrome and Trigger Finger/thumb (TF) under sonography (instead of open or endoscopic approach). Two models will be assessed in this clinical investigation: 1. The Carpal Tunnel Sono-Instrument® (CT-SI), for CT syndrome release, by progressively cutting the transverse carpal ligament. 2. The Trigger Finger Sono-Instrument® (TF-SI), for TF release by progressively cutting the A1 annual pulley. Using those SI, surgical procedures can be performed without endangering adjacent structures (e.g. median nerve and branches, ulnar pedicle, superficial carpal arch, digital pedicles, flexor tendons).
Trigger fingers (TF) is the common cause of pain and disturbed function of hand. Many studies show that percutaneous release of A1 pulley has better outcome than the steroid injection. However, over the past many years, steroid injection has been considered as the choice of treatment after the failure of conservative treatment methods. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of percutaneous release of A1 pulley compared with the local Steroid injection in the treatment of trigger fingers. This study is based on a randomized clinical trial to compare the effect of the percutaneous release of A1 pulley with steroid injection in trigger fingers. A total of 112 participants aged 18 years and above suffering from trigger fingers with failed conservative treatment will be intervened randomly (56 participants in injection group and 56 participants in percutaneous release group). The Quinnell's classification, VAS scoring system and active range of movement in the affected site will be assessed at the baseline and the same criteria will be at one month and three month as end line assessment. Statistical analyses will be performed using independent t-test and Mann Whitney U test to compare between the two means. The outcome of this study will help to guide the physicians to choose the better therapeutic approach among the patients suffering from trigger fingers.
Objectives: To compare the efficacy of ultrasonography guided corticosteroid injection at A1 pulley and percutaneous A1 pulley release as a treatment for trigger finger. Methods: 75 patients with idiopathic trigger finger were enrolled in our prospective study. Patients with diabetes mellitus, previous history of open release for trigger finger, different inflammatory arthritis and multiple trigger fingers affections were excluded. Group A 40 patients: Underwent ultrasound guided methyl prednisolone acetate injection, between A1 pulley and tendons .Group B 35 patients :Underwent ultrasonography-guided percutaneous A1 pulley needle release .All patients were subjected to the following before and after intervention by 1 and 3 months , DASH, trigger finger classification grade & VAS
