UnknownPhase 2, Phase 3

Sponsor: Robert Wood Johnson Barnabas Health

Conditions: Hand Injuries, Finger Injuries

Interventions: Methylprednisolone Tablet, Standard Mobilization Treatment

Countries: United States

Steroids are often prescribed for their anti-inflammatory effects in patients with musculoskeletal injuries. Studies have shown that steroids may reduce pain and swelling, but their effects on range of motion and functional outcomes have not been illustrated. With this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of steroids on range of motion and functional outcomes in non-operatively managed musculoskeletal injuries of the hand.
