The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if platelet rich plasma works to treat early stage trigger finger in adults. It will also learn about the safety platelet rich plasma. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does platelet rich plasma lower the pain associated with trigger finger of participants? Does it improve the hand grip strength and Q DASH score of participants? Researchers will compare platelet rich plasma to Depo-Medrol steroid (a known standard of care for early stage trigger finger) to see if platelet rich plasma works to treat early trigger finger.
Participants will:
Take platelet rich plasma or a depo-medrol steroid intralesional injection at recruitment into the intervention Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and parameter measurements. Investigator will will keep a record of participants progress in symptom remission
Patients who are 18year and above with mild or moderate trigger finger, who are willing to have intra-lesional administration of blood product.
