Injection With Amniotic Fluid Versus Corticosteroid in Patients With Stenosing Tenosynovitis: a Randomized, Blinded Trial
The proposed study aims to investigate whether amniotic fluid injections are a better
alternative to corticosteroid injections as a conservative treatment for stenosing
tenosynovitis. Based on results from our most recent pilot study exploring patient outcomes
after receiving an amnion injection, we were able to observe symptom resolution in more than
half of the study population. Adverse events were extremely rare and not related to study
participation. Given the numerous occurrences of successful symptom resolution, the next step
is to compare patient outcomes to those of patients who receive the standard steroid
injection. This study will compare outcome measurements of patients who receive amnion
injections to those who receive steroid injections.
