Can skin elasticity predict dupuytren recurrence?
NCT ID NCT07470684
First seen Mar 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the skin on the palm of the hand is involved in Dupuytren disease, a condition that causes fingers to bend inward. Researchers will measure skin elasticity with a suction device, use ultrasound to see the tissue beneath, and take a small skin sample during surgery. They want to find out if these skin features can predict how well the surgery works and whether the disease comes back. The study involves 50 adults scheduled for Dupuytren surgery and follows them for one year.

What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is observational in nature and does not test a new treatment.
