A double-blind placebo randomized controlled trial of minocycline to reduce pain after carpal tunnel and trigger finger release.
This trial tested whether perioperative administration of minocycline reduced time to pain resolution (TPR) after standardized hand surgeries with known prolonged pain profiles: carpal tunnel release and trigger finger release. It found that oral administration of minocycline did not reduce TPR after minor hand surgery. There was evidence that minocycline might increase length of pain in those with increased posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms.
