扳机指

诊断

在检查时，医务人员可能会要求您张开和握紧手掌，以检查疼痛区域、运动平滑性和交锁迹象。

治疗

扳机指的治疗因其严重程度和持续时间而异。

药物

考虑服用非甾体抗炎药，如布洛芬（Advil、Motrin IB 等）或萘普生钠（Aleve）。某些此类药物可以通过药膏或贴剂经患处皮肤递送。

Therapy

Conservative treatments may include:

• Rest. Avoid activities that require repetitive gripping, repeated grasping or the prolonged use of vibrating hand-held machinery until your symptoms improve. If you can't avoid these activities altogether, padded gloves may offer some protection.
• A splint. Wearing a splint can help rest the tendon.
• Stretching exercises. Gentle stretching exercises can help maintain mobility in your finger.

Surgery or other procedures

If your symptoms are serious or if conservative treatments haven't helped, your healthcare professional might suggest:

• Steroid injection. An injection of a steroid near or into the tendon sheath may reduce swelling and allow the tendon to glide freely again. An injection is often effective for more than a year. Some people need more than one injection.
• Needle procedure. After numbing your palm, a member of your care team inserts a sturdy needle into the tissue around your affected tendon. Moving the needle and your finger helps break apart the tissue that's blocking the smooth motion of the tendon. Using ultrasound to guide the procedure can improve results.
• Surgery. Working through a small incision near the base of your affected finger, a surgeon cuts open the narrowed section of tendon sheath, allowing the tendon to glide freely again.

• 您的工作或兴趣爱好是否需要做重复性动作？
• 您的手部最近是否受过伤？
