Filter by:This study will investigate a video assisted, home therapy program where participants complete hand therapy on their own following thumb arthroplasty. In this program, participants will receive prerecorded informational videos. Half of the participants in this study will do standard of care, in-person therapy. The other half will be enrolled in the home therapy program. Participants will fill out an assessment of their physical ability before surgery and again three months after surgery. These assessments will be compared between groups. The study team hypothesizes that the video-assisted, home therapy program will be noninferior to traditional in-person therapy.
Trial purpose is to research the outcome after thumb carpometacarpal injection with stromal vascular fraction (SVF) derived from adipose tissue. The study compares SVF injection therapy with thumb splinting vs. splinting only. Patients with radiologically and clinically confirmed Eaton-Glickel II osteoarthritis are randomized (1:1 computer generated sequence with random block size) to two parallel groups and will undergo SVF injection and splinting vs. splinting only. Baseline data is collected preoperatively and patients are followed at 1, 3 and 6 months after enrollment. The primary end-point is 6 months and the primary outcome is pain visual analogue scale and patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE).
A randomized comparison between trapeziectomy and trapeziometacarpal limited excision for thumb base osteoarthritis in 90 patients.
This randomized clinical trial (RCT) will evaluate 6-month outcomes following intra-articular injections for arthritis of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint by comparing corticosteroid plus local anesthetic versus saline (placebo) plus local anesthetic.
To determine the effect of first dorsal interosseus (FDI) strengthening in patients with thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis.
The aim of this study is to assess whether the use of a commercially available nutraceutical, turmeric, is an effective option to manage pain and stiffness in patients with basal joint arthritis. To conduct a pilot Randomized Controlled Trial evaluating the impact of turmeric on basal joint arthritis.
In this randomized controlled trial the investigators want to investigate whether early versus late mobilisation after surgery in the first carpometacarpal joint (CMC1) leads to a faster recovery of hand function. The investigators also want to explore patients' satisfaction with the two different treatment regimes. The participants in the control group will receive the standard treatment at Diakonhjemmet hospital: immobilisation of the thumb in a splint for six weeks. The participants in the intervention group will use a soft splint for six weeks, but will be instructed to remove the splint daily to perform exercises for the thumb. A total of 70 patients will be included in the study.
