Trigger finger can be treated in several ways, depending on the severity of the disease. The the common treatments for trigger finger:

· Conservative treatments:

• Immobilization of the fingers for brief period.

• Ice application for pain and inflammation.

• Heat therapy.

• Splinting the affected finger.

· Medical treatment:

• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s).

• Local injection of steroid around the tendon.
