What this trial studies

This study analyzes the effectiveness of a nighttime extension orthosis following a cortisone injection for treating trigger finger. The goal is to determine if the orthosis can improve pain and functional outcomes compared to patients who do not use it. Participants will be assessed at 12 weeks post-injection using the Quick Dash score to evaluate their progress. The study focuses on individuals diagnosed with trigger finger who have received a cortisone injection.
