New Radio-Frequency therapy aims to speed finger recovery after tendon surgery

NCT ID NCT07255651

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a device called TECAR, which uses radio-frequency energy, can reduce pain and improve finger movement in 40 adults who recently had flexor tendon repair surgery. Participants will receive the therapy in multiple sessions over six weeks, and their finger joint motion will be measured. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment helps recovery without drugs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
TECAR therapy (a device that delivers radio-frequency energy to the injured tendon)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a new, non-drug way to ease pain and improve finger movement after tendon repair surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 40 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The therapy is not yet proven and may not work better than standard care.
