NCT ID NCT06296017
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study compares two common treatments for trigger finger: shock wave therapy and a finger splint. Researchers will enroll 54 adults with early-stage trigger finger to see which approach better reduces pain and improves hand function. The goal is to find out if shock wave therapy offers any advantage over the simpler splint.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) and trigger finger splint
What this could lead to
If this works, it could show that shock wave therapy is a good non-surgical option for easing pain and improving hand function in early trigger finger.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 54 people. The results may not apply to everyone, and shock wave therapy might not be better than a simple splint.
