Simple night splint may boost trigger finger recovery
NCT ID NCT05837286
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether wearing a plastic finger splint at night for 6 weeks, right after a cortisone injection, helps trigger finger heal better than the injection alone. Researchers will track pain, finger locking, and daily function in 146 adults over 12 weeks. The goal is to see if this simple, non-surgical approach leads to faster and more complete relief.
