Trigger Finger Treatment Study: Cortisone Injection with or without a Night Splint
This study is looking at how well a night splint (Oval-8® Orthosis) works when used after a cortisone injection for trigger finger. Trigger finger (stenosing flexor tenosynovitis) is a condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position. Some participants will receive a cortisone injection and wear the Oval-8® Orthosis at night, while others will only receive the cortisone injection and move their fingers normally. The researchers want to see if the night splint helps improve pain and finger function more than the injection alone. You might be able to join if you are 18 or older and have trigger finger. The study aims to enroll 146 people, but its current status is unclear.
