Sponsor's own description
Study purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness of Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) injection in the treatment of trigger finger. We compare PRP to a corticosteroid (methylprednisolone) injection in a prospective randomized triple-blind placebo-controlled study. Patients with clinically confirmed trigger finger are randomized (1:1:1 computer generated sequence with random block size) to three parallel groups and will receive an injection of either PRP, corticosteroid or placebo (0.9% saline) around the affected tendon sheath in a double-blind setting. Baseline data is collected and is followed by a phone call at 1 month, and follow-up visits at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after the intervention. Unveiling of the allocation is at 6 months post-intervention. The primary outcome measures are: * Symptom resolution * Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation Secondary outcomes: * Quick-Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand * Pain Visual Analogue Score * Global improvement (7-step Likert-scale) * Grip strength * Finger range of motion
