Treating Dupuytren’s with vitamin E. Does it work? No, according to this 50 year old study, documenting results with before and after plaster casts of the bent fingers. The results: no improvement in the degree of contracture. This is a pretty straightforward clearly documented study, which answers the question “Does three months of vitamin E therapy help straighten fingers bent by Dupuytren’s?” Apparently not. It doesn’t answer the much more difficult question “Does vitamin E therapy prevent progression of Dupuytren’s contracture?”. I’d still like to know: https://www.dupuytrens.org/DupPDFs/1952_Richards_1269.pdf
