Splint Users' Satisfaction and Functional Status With Custom Finger Splints
NCT05903391 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This feasibility and non-randomized comparison study explores the possible benefits of splint design and production by 3D-printing in a clinical setting and looks at splint users' experiences with customizable 3D-printed finger splints compared to conventionally made splints. Fifty participants with a hyperextended finger condition are assigned by researcher to either an interventional group (customizable 3D-printed finger splint) or a control group (conventional thermoplastic finger splint). Participants will wear assigned splint for 1 month. Functional status and satisfaction with splint will be assessed at the end of the 1-month duration in the form of surveys on satisfaction and functional status participants will be asked to complete. The findings will contribute to evidence that customizable 3D-printed finger splints can serve as a feasible, cost-effective option to improve patient satisfaction and functional status. It will further justify the need for the application of 3D-printing in a clinical setting.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05903391
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05903391 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 22 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Endeavor Health, which has 115 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Hypermobility of Interphalangeal Joints appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which 3D-Printed Finger Splints is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT05903391 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Illinois. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
