| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The intensity of the patient's pain is based on scoring from one to ten. Timepoint: Before the treatment and after completing the 6-week treatment period and 3 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: How much the patient knows the intensity of his pain and gives a score to his current pain from 0 (no pain) to 10 (the most severe pain that a person can experience in his lifetime). We ask the patient to indicate his pain level on a special 10 cm ruler.;Frequency of triggering. Timepoint: Before the treatment and after completing the 6-week treatment period and 3 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: The patient gives a score from zero to ten on the number of times the trigger finger gets stuck. Zero is the least disorder and ten is the most severe condition.;Functional impact of triggering. Timepoint: Before the treatment and after completing the 6-week treatment period and 3 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: The patient scores the dysfunction caused by trigger finger from 0 to 10. 0 is the least disorder and 10 is the most severe.;Severity of triggering. Timepoint: Before the treatment and after completing the 6-week treatment period and 3 months after the treatment.
