Alternative treatment known?
I'm suffering from the disease of Ledderhose (i.e. the same as Dupuytrens but located in the foot). I would like to know if someone tried some alternative tretment as f;ex. homeopathy to cure this disease?
Any other therapy (except surgery: because I did it once, but it came back) and information : I'm looking forward to it. Thanks. Baudouin

Non-Surgical Cure?
Hope you can help!
I’m new to the Dupuytren's forum, but not to Dupuytren's that showed up about 10 years ago. Had surgery on my left hand 2 years ago but Dupuytren's is now back in the L hand worse than ever. So I know from experience surgery is only a stopgap.
I know about the French Needle so I am very interested in info about non-surgical cures. Question:
1) Are there any legit non-surgical cures? Who and where? 2) Is the SUNY Stony Brook cure near going public? Any info on the status? 3) Are there any doctors (or anyone else) doing injections? Who and where?
Please help with any info you have. I don’t want any more surgery!
Thanks.

Sunay and Dupuytrens
Sunay, I hope that you have done an internet search about Dupuytren's Disease. It is unusual (not rare) for non- Northern Euopeans to have DD contractures. Historically, (one hundred years) this has been considered an introjection of mal-adaptive genes from, perhaps, Viking explorations. Given that vague background of genetic origin, one is left with a search for practical and reliable remedies. To date, no remedy exists for the genetic aspect of DD (Viking genes?) There exists two major approaches to Dupuytren's contractures: hand surgery (mostly USA) and Needle Aponevrotomy (originated in France.) A third option is currently progressing in FDA trials in the USA (Cordase or Clostridium Collagenase injections.) Well, what to do? Your degree of contractures suggests to me that you will benefit from NA (Needle Aponevrotomy) in the short to middle term. If Genetics or surgery improve down the road (later on) you can consider re-treatment. At present, hand "surgery" is traumatic in and of itself to a degree that many/most of us recommend going to a Doctor trained at Paris' L'hopital Lariboisiere for NA as an interim and repeatable treaatment option. There are no cures, at present. Early treatment (30-90 degrees) has a better prognosis than later (90 plus degrees.) Start by taking pictures (35 mm or digital) and somehow sending them to a Doctor on the Lariboisiere list. That should elicit a response. Ultimately you would travel to France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, or Jupiter, Florida for treatment. Post again if you need help in locating the e-mail or street address of an NA practioner. The information is already on this and other sites. Many of us can post a link here. (Please do not consider "traditional" Z-plasty surgery without full consideration of other options.) Female circumsion is an analogous aproach to a very different situation; the option is influenced largly by cultural influence; the results are personal. Choose wisely! Post again, please.

Dupuytrens options
I'm interested to find out what options are available or if NA is an option if I have alread had surgery (twice). For Dupuytrens. After first having surgery six years ago and then again two years ago I believe that this is not a cure.
Thanks

A mitochondrial disease
You are correct, there is no current cure for Dups. NA requires non scared skin in the aria a needle will be inserted to cut the Dups tissue below. If the new Dups is in a new location with no scarring from your previous surgeries, NA may be possible. Contact Dr. Eaton and send details pictures of you hand.
