Summary
This early-stage study tests whether injecting donated fat tissue into the small joints of the hand can safely reduce pain and improve function in people with early osteoarthritis. About 34 adults with hand arthritis will receive the injection and be monitored for changes in strength, range of motion, and disability. The goal is to offer a simpler, off-the-shelf alternative to current treatments.
