Study Comparing One Versus Two Cortisone Injections for Trigger Finger

A Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing One vs. Two Cortisone Injections for Trigger Finger

Trigger finger, also known as stenosing tenosynovitis, is a painful condition that can cause discomfort and disability. Many physicians choose to locally inject cortisone into the infected finger although there is no current consensus as to how many injections are needed to achieve maximum relief. This study will be a prospective, randomized study to compare one versus two injections for the treatment of trigger finger.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subject is greater than 18 years of age, presenting with stenosing tenosynovitis.
• Subject is willing and able to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients who have previously undergone surgery for the treatment of trigger finger.
