Is there any plan to try the collagenese treatment for dupuytrens in europe? Is collagenese licensed for medical use outside the us? Is there a contact name/number for any medical researchers in europe planning on clinical trials of the treatment?

BE CAREFUL! I THOUGHT TRYING TO STRAIGHTEN MY FINGER WAS A GOOD IDEA, AND SEEMED TO BE HELPING, THEN MY DOCTOR SAID HES MADE IT COME OUT IN THE OPPOSITE HAND BY AGREVATING IT. I DONT KNOW. I JUST LEAVE MY PINKIE ALONE NOW.

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.

There is absolutely nothing happening with regard to Collagenase. See the post below, expressing enthusiasm about Phase II trials - it's now 6 years later and Phase III is, as always, scheduled to begin in a few months. Even if a miracle occurred and the trials did begin, they'll run for a year - then the FDA starts its grind - and maybe, some years later, it actually shows up on the market.

Forget about collagenase and go to one of the doctors doing NA.
