Trigger Finger Preference Elicitation Tool

Trigger Finger Clinical Trial

Official title: Does the Use of a Preference Elicitation Tool at Point of Care in Trigger Finger Change Decisional Conflict?

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a patient's level of decisional conflict for their treatment decision regarding their trigger finger, and study if the use of a preference elicitation tool at point of care is able to alter the level of decisional conflict

Clinical Trial Description

All patients presenting to the Hand Surgery clinic for evaluation of a new trigger finger will be approached for inclusion in the study. Upon diagnosis, a patient diagnosed with a trigger will be informed of the study, asked if they would like to participate, and consented into the study. Patients will then be randomized to a control group versus our test group. The control group will be given a generic handout about trigger finger and the treatment options. They will then complete the decisional conflict survey without using the tool. The second group will use the tool and then complete the decisional conflict survey.

The standard of care is not being altered- all treatment options will still be available to patients and they have select whatever option is most in line with their preference for treatment. The purpose of the tool is to facilitate preference elicitation for treatment. ;
