Which finger surgery hurts less? new study aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07102654
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two surgical techniques for treating pain after a finger amputation: reconnecting the nerve (microanastomosis) versus cutting and burying it (traction neurectomy). Researchers will track pain levels and hand function in 50 adults over six months. The goal is to see which method leads to less pain and fewer complications.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If this study shows one technique is better, it could guide surgeons to choose the method that causes less pain and fewer complications after finger amputation.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study, not a large trial. Results may not apply to everyone, and it only compares two specific surgeries.
