Sponsor: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Summary
This study is to analyze the effectiveness of a nighttime extension orthosis after receiving a cortisone injection for the treatment of trigger finger to improve pain and restore functional outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that the extension orthosis will improve pain and functional outcomes compared to those without a digital night extension orthosis in those with trigger finger at 12 weeks from the injection.

Oval-8 ® Orthosis
The experimental group will consist of receiving a PIP joint on the day they receive their cortisone injection. The Oval-8 ® will be issued to the subject by an Occupational Therapist to ensure correct fit and comfort as well as given written instructions for night use. The orthosis will be worn at night for 6-week duration. Participants will have 1 follow up phone call or email at the 6-week mark and then 1 follow up phone call or email at the 12 week mark by a member of the research team from the time they received their cortisone injection where the time for resolution of trigger finger symptoms, VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), subjective questionnaire and QuickDASH scores will all be recorded in their medical research file.
Cortisone injection only
The control group will receive a cortisone injection and be instructed to move their fingers normally
