Just wanted to communicate a recent post from the forum of Dupuytren e.V. (www.dupuytren-online.info) that I found encouraging:

I started cold laser treatment for DUPS in December with Dr. Roberts in Rancho Mirage, CA. He uses a Thor machine and treats for 3 minutes per session (cost $50 per session). I had 6 treatments with him in December '05. I noticed some improvement, but not a lot. I then found Dr. Solomon of Desert Laser Center, in Palm Desert, CA. He uses an Omega XP machine and treats for 15 minutes per session for $50 per session. I had 5 treatments with Dr. Solomon in February and April 2006. I have now stopped my treatment as I was told that further treatment will probably not reduce the size of the one remaining nodule any further. When I began treatment, I had two medium size nodules on my right palm and protruding cords. I now have one very, very small nodule and no cords that I can feel.
