Filter by:To Evaluate the Effectiveness of the use of a Novel Crosslinking Hyaluronan Hydrogel on the Prevention of the Adhesion Occurrence After Trigger Finger Release Surgery
Trigger finger is a common cause of hand pain and dysfunction. Its due to chronic inflammation of the flexor tendon that leads to a pulley system mismatch. Historically it has been managed either conservatively with corticosteroid injections or through a surgical release of the A1 pulley. Several corticosteroids have been used for injection- dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, triamcinolone, betamethasone, paramethasone, etc. The purpose of out study is to determine if a 0.5 cc injection of Triamcinolone 40 mg/mL will be the most effective steroid injection for the non-surgical treatment. Approximately 200 subjects will be enrolled and randomized to one of three treatment arms: Triamcinolone 40mg/mL, Triamcinolone 10mg/mL and Soluble dexamethasone 4mg/mL. Treatment success will be defined as lack of conversion to surgical treatment, or no desire to proceed with surgery during study period (3 months).
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
The primary objective of this study is to compare local corticosteroid hand and elbow injections to placebo or ketorolac to determine if there is an equal or better reduction of symptoms for common orthopaedic upper extremity disorders including: De Quervain's tenosynovitis, trigger fingers, and tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). The investigators will enroll 780 subjects, divided equally into three arms for each disease process, and compare the efficacy of Ketorolac injections to Dexamethasone injections by measuring patient's functional status scores and pain scores at 0 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 month followup periods, prospectively over time.
The purpose of this research study is to find out which combination of pain medications following surgery work the best and result in the fewest side effects.
