Summary
This study tests whether a salt water (saline) injection works as well as a steroid injection for thumb arthritis pain. 40 adults with thumb arthritis will receive either a steroid or a saline shot, and neither they nor their doctor will know which. The goal is to see if the simpler, cheaper saline injection can provide similar relief with fewer side effects.
