Summary
Study start date: November 11, 2024
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.Trigger finger is a condition that causes pain and difficulty in moving fingers due to thickening around the tendons in the hand. This study is focused on finding the best way to treat trigger finger using two methods that involve ultrasound guidance. One method uses a needle knife to release the tight area causing the problem, and the other uses a corticosteroid injection to reduce swelling and pain. This research is important because it aims to compare these two treatment options to see which is more effective and safer for people suffering from this condition. Participants in this study undergo treatment guided by ultrasound, which helps doctors see the affected area clearly. One group receives a precise release of the tight area with a needle knife, while the other group receives a corticosteroid injection. The effects of the treatments are monitored to evaluate improvement in finger movement and reduction in pain. The study also looks at the safety of each method, ensuring that participants have the best possible outcome with minimal risks.
