简要总结
The goal of this study is to compare the effects of extracorporeal shockwave therapy and splinting in the treatment of trigger finger.
Participants will:
Be randomized into two groups (shockwave group and splint group). Visit the clinic once a week for four weeks for therapy. Keep a diary of their symptoms, which will be reviewed at six weeks.

结局指标
主要结局
100-mm. horizontal VAS score
时间窗: at enrollment, fourth week, and sixth week after first intervention
The VAS or Visual Analog Scale is a scale that is used to evaluate the level of pain. It is represented by a horizontal line that is 100-mm. long. The score is determined by measuring the distance in mm. A higher score on this scale indicates greater pain intensity.
次要结局
- QuickDASH score(at enrollment, fourth week, and sixth week after first intervention)
- Number of triggering(at enrollment, fourth week, and sixth week after first intervention)
