Satisfaction and Recovery After Trigger Finger Release

Completed

• Conditions: Trigger Finger Disorder

• Registration Number: NCT05336045
• Lead Sponsor: Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden

Brief Summary

Trigger finger release is one of the most common procedures in hand surgery. However, little is known about the patient perceived outcome directly after surgery and the timespan to recovery of normal hand function.This study focuses on patient reported outcome scores within the first six weeks after surgery.

Detailed Description

Patients scheduled for release of trigger finger are assessed regarding the following outcome measures:

1. VAS score for pain

2. VAS score for finger movement

3. VAS score for fréquence of triggering

4. HAKIR questionnaire (validated instrument for hand function in the Swedish national hand registry)

5. Quick-DASH questionnaire.

After surgery, the patients records the following outcomes:

Each day: 1,2,3 and records of pain medication details Each week: 4,5

for 6 weeks
