First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 150 people with early hand osteoarthritis to see if imaging techniques like ultrasound and MRI can predict which patients will get worse over time. Researchers will track joint changes on X-rays and look for links to symptoms like pain and swelling. The goal is to identify high-risk patients earlier, but this study does not test any treatment.
