Summary
This study tests whether TECAR therapy, a type of energy-based heat treatment, can reduce pain and improve hand movement in people with Dupuytren's contracture (palmar fibromatosis). Thirty-six adults aged 40 to 70 with mild to moderate finger contractures will receive 20-minute sessions. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach can ease symptoms and improve daily hand function.
