Trigger finger splints may be worn during the day and at night as well as being used after the finger has been injected to allow the finger to rest and the injection to be fully effective.

The exact trigger finger causes are not always readily apparent.

Once the tendon in your finger starts getting stuck, the condition usually gets progressively worse.

This can happen in one of three ways:

The constant irritation or friction from the tendon getting stuck can cause the tendon to swell, making it harder for it to fit into the sheath. The sheath is lined with a slick coating called tenosynovium. The irritation from the tendon can cause the lining to become inflamed (swollen), making the sheath narrower. The irritation from the tendon can cause a nodule (a small growth or
