NCT ID NCT01376024
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 800 people with thumb arthritis to find out which treatments—surgical or non-surgical—work best for pain relief and hand function. Participants continue their usual care, and researchers track their progress over time. The goal is to learn what helps most, not to test a new drug or procedure.
