Surgeons test which trigger finger surgery works best

NCT ID NCT05251428

Summary

This study compared two standard surgical approaches for treating trigger finger, a common hand condition where a finger gets stuck when bent. Researchers wanted to see if completely removing a small band of tissue (excision) works better than just cutting it (incision) at reducing pain and preventing the problem from coming back. The study involved 80 adult patients who were randomly assigned to receive one of the two surgical procedures, which are both currently used by doctors.
