Immediate Post Steroid Injection Pain Between the Proximal Digital Crease and The Conventional Techniques in Trigger Finger: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Immediate Post Steroid Injection Pain Between the Proximal Digital Crease and The Conventional Techniques in Trigger Finger: A Randomized Controlled Trial; Trigger finger, The proximal digital crease technique, The conventional technique, Steroid injection, The visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores

• Registration Number: TCTR20220505001
• Lead Sponsor: Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial hospital

Brief Summary

The two groups were comparable for the two steroid injection techniques. The mean pain VAS scores immediately post-injection were 6.03+/- 1.77 and 3.63+/- 1.45 in the conventional and proximal digital crease techniques, respectively. The proximal digital crease technique group had a significantly lower VAS score than that of the conventional technique group. No significant difference was observed in the two groups with regards to success rate and complications at 3and 6 and 12 weeks and 1 year follow up.
