Dupuytren Contracture

The goal of this study is to learn about preventing recurrence of Dupuytren's Contracture. The main question it aims to answer are: • Does targeted radiation therapy decrease recurrence of Dupuytren's contracture after treatment with Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum? Participants will undergo: * Release of Dupuytren's Contracture after Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum injection * Daily radiation therapy treatment for 5 days followed by 6-8 week rest period and then another course of 5 days of radiation therapy

This pilot asks whether peri-operative N-acetylcysteine (NAC) improves recovery after common outpatient hand/foot-ankle surgery-specifically, does NAC reduce pain and opioid use and enhance function by modulating redox-inflammatory pathways? Primary objectives are to establish feasibility (accrual, adherence, follow-up), estimate NAC vs placebo effects on pain, function, and opioid consumption, and characterize inflammatory signatures that may predict response. Methods: a single-site, double-blind, 1:1 randomized trial (N≈80) comparing NAC 1,200 mg twice daily for 14 days (starting pre-op) vs matching placebo; daily e-diaries for POD0-14; standardized outcomes (PROMIS Pain Interference; QuickDASH or FAAM; PGIC; opioid MME); and small blood draws pre-surgery and at two follow-up visits for cytokine profiling.

This trial is a multicenter, Phase 1/2, study to assess the safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and immunogenicity of CNT201 in adult participants with DC (Dupuytren's Contracture).

To determine if the clinical impression of clinicians, ie that patients are improving with the current treatment pathway for Dupuytren's (contracture release followed by radiation), can be substantiated with scientific evidence.

Research is instrumental for improving medical care and the patient experience. Finding new surgical techniques can create better outcomes and minimize recovery time and complications for patients. Some patients undergoing trigger finger surgery with a pre-existing Dupuytren's cord may develop a thickened surgical scar after surgery, which can cause discomfort, difficulty with moving or using, and other complications in the affected finger(s) or hand. The investigator is investigating a surgical technique to minimize these potential complications and scarring after surgery. Subjects are being asked to take part in this research study because they have been diagnosed with trigger finger and pretendinous Dupuytren's cord and have decided to undergo surgery rather than try medical treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how people make decisions about imaging tests for common musculoskeletal problems (like arthritis, tendon problems, or nerve compression). The study involves adult patients attending a musculoskeletal specialty clinic. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does having a structured conversation about the pros and cons of a test affect how much a person wants to have that test? 2. Does that conversation help people feel more confident and less conflicted about their decision? Researchers will compare patients who have a values-based discussion with a researcher to those who receive brief written information about the test, to see if these approaches affect how people feel about having the test. Participants will: * Read a brief scenario about a proposed diagnostic imaging test (like an X-ray, MRI, CT, or ultrasound). * Either take part in a short structured conversation or read brief information about the test. * Answer a short survey about their thoughts on the test. This study does not involve actual medical testing or affect your clinical care. It is for research purposes only.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided needle knife dissection in treating Dupuytren's contracture. The procedure is designed to improve hund function and minimize complications associated with the conventional surgical methods.

Dupuytren's contracture (DC) is associated with progressive finger flexion and extension deficit caused by fibrosis in the palm and digits. Treatment options include minimally invasive procedures such as percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) and collagenase clostridium histolyticum injections as well as open fasciectomy. PNF has recently become more popular in Sweden because it is an office-based procedure which is relatively easy to perform without the usual risks and costs of open surgery. After treatment with PNF patients usually continue with supervised rehabilitation, which includes physical therapy and night splinting. Whether night splinting is beneficial in terms of reducing recurrence of DC is currently debated. This study aims to investigate whether night splinting after performed PNF helps to reduce recurrence rate or not. Patients who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups: The first group will be treated as usual with physical therapy and night splinting after PNF. The second group will be treated with physical therapy without night splinting after PNF. Follow up includes physical examination regarding active range of motion, sensation and grip strength at procedure day and 2 weeks, 3, 12 and 36 months later as well as questionnaires regarding hand function, pain and quality of life at procedure day and 3, 12 and 36 months later. Patients who are randomized into the second group (no night splinting) will also be examined 3 weeks after PNF for observation in case of an early impairment regarding extension deficit.
