The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic modalities (paraffin, ultrasound and orthotics) versus corticosteroid injection for trigger finger.
There are several forms of nonsurgical treatment for trigger finger, the most used are:
Although the non-surgical treatment is often used there is no evidence in the literature of which is the most effective conservative treatment for trigger finger. Thus, it is necessary use appropriate methodology to define the benefits and harms of each treatment modality and assess the effectiveness of these nonsurgical treatments, and may define which one has a higher resolution and lower rates of trigger finger recurrences in short, medium and long term.
