Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic and prevalent joint disorder with great impact on quality of life and high economic burden. Although a number of conservative therapies have proven to be effective for the management of hand OA, only modest treatment effects were reported for most individual interventions. The aim of the proposed study is to assess the effect of laser therapy on pain, function and force in patients with carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (CMC OA).

Primary | Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | VAS has been shown to be a reliable and valid instrument for pain assessment which is used frequently for clinical and research purposes. It consists of a 10-cm line anchored at each end. The left-hand anchor reads 'no pain' and the right-hand anchor reads 'worst possible pain'; the patients marked a line to represent their pain level.

Secondary | Key pinch strength | For measure pinch key we used Key pinch dynamometer. Pinch strength was less in patients with early thumb CMC OA. Key pinch had the most robust association with OA diagnosis. Tomas J et al. Weaker Functional Pinch Strength Is Associated With Early Thumb Carpometacarpal Osteoarthritis.
