New surgery may stop trigger finger from coming back

NCT ID NCT07497061

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

Summary

This study will compare two surgical techniques for trigger finger, a condition where a finger gets stuck in a bent position. One method makes a small cut in the tendon sheath, while the other removes a piece of it. Researchers want to see which approach leads to fewer recurrences and better pain and movement. The trial plans to enroll 236 adults who need surgery for a single trigger finger.
