Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of two splint designs in conservative management of trigger finger.


Description:

This study aims to analyse and compare the effectiveness of metacarpophalangeal joint blocking splint versus relative motion extension splint for trigger finger. This will help us find out which one of the two splint designs is more effective in the management of trigger finger, thus improving treatment outcomes for patients with trigger finger.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) The VAS is a patient rated outcome measure that enables the patient to rate the intensity of pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worse pain that can possibly be) 12 weeks
Primary Green's classification for trigger finger Green's classification is an objective outcome measure. The therapist grades the triggering by observing the finger when the patient makes a full fist.
Grade I: Pain/history of catching Grade II: Demonstrable catching but can actively extend digit Grade III: Demonstrable locking, requiring passive extension Grade IV: Fixed flexion contracture
Lowest score is I; highest score is IV
12 weeks
Secondary QuickDASH (Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand) The QuickDASH is a patient rated questionnaire that rates patient's ability to perform certain tasks as well as severity of symptoms. The best score is 0 (no difficulty) and the lowest score is 100 (severe difficulty). 12 weeks
