NCT ID NCT07184658
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving repeated saltwater injections around a repaired tendon can prevent painful scar tissue (adhesions) that limits movement. 136 adults who had finger tendon surgery received either three ultrasound-guided saline injections or no injection. The goal was to see if the injections improve hand function and reduce pain without causing side effects.
