ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into a treatment called Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) to see how it affects scars on the hand after surgery to repair certain tendons. The researchers want to find out if this method can help improve the appearance and flexibility of scars that form after surgery in a specific area of the hand.

To be eligible for this study, participants should be between 20 and 40 years old and have scars in the targeted area of the hand following tendon surgery. Both men and women can join, but people with certain conditions like significant injuries, fractures, or unhealed wounds are not eligible. If you participate, you can expect to receive treatment focused on your scar and be monitored throughout the study to see how well it works. This trial is not yet recruiting, so stay tuned for updates on when you can apply!
