Comparative Evaluation of Finger Splint, Paraffin, and Peloidotherapy Interventions in the Management of Trigger Finger

Sponsor: Konya Beyhekim Training and Research Hospital

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Patients aged 18-75 years who present with trigger finger to a tertiary rehabilitation hospital and agree to participate will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly allocated into three groups using block randomization. The first group will use a static finger splint that blocks the proximal interphalangeal joint for 6 weeks, along with a home exercise program. The second group will receive paraffin bath therapy, and the third group will receive peloidotherapy, both in combination with home exercises. All patients will receive education about the disease and activity modification. The finger joint-restricting splint and exercises will be applied for 6 weeks. Evaluations will be conducted at baseline, at the end of the 3rd week, and at the end of the 6th week by a blinded assessor. No analgesic or anti-inflammatory medication will be permitted during the study, and patients will be instructed to avoid using analgesics within 24 hours prior to each assessment.
