简要总结
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of two splint designs in conservative management of trigger finger.
详细描述
This study aims to analyse and compare the effectiveness of metacarpophalangeal joint blocking splint versus relative motion extension splint for trigger finger. This will help us find out which one of the two splint designs is more effective in the management of trigger finger, thus improving treatment outcomes for patients with trigger finger.

结局指标
主要结局
Green's classification for trigger finger
时间窗: 12 weeks
Green's classification is an objective outcome measure. The therapist grades the triggering by observing the finger when the patient makes a full fist. Grade I: Pain/history of catching Grade II: Demonstrable catching but can actively extend digit Grade III: Demonstrable locking, requiring passive extension Grade IV: Fixed flexion contracture Lowest score is I; highest score is IV
次要结局
- QuickDASH (Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand)(12 weeks)
