About this trial

This study is to analyze the effectiveness of a nighttime extension orthosis after receiving a cortisone injection for the treatment of trigger finger to improve pain and restore functional outcomes. The investigators hypothesize that the extension orthosis will improve pain and functional outcomes compared to those without a digital night extension orthosis in those with trigger finger at 12 weeks from the injection.
