NCT ID NCT05992883
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether an NSAID injection (ketorolac) works better than a steroid injection (triamcinolone) for easing pain from moderate to advanced thumb arthritis. About 240 adults over 40 with persistent thumb pain will receive one type of injection and report their pain levels. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage symptoms without surgery.
