This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

Researchers are testing whether a wrist nerve block, which uses a local steroid injection to interrupt pain signals, can reduce wrist pain in adults with rheumatoid arthritis. The trial enrolls 180 people with oligoarticular rheumatoid arthritis that affects the wrist. Participants receive the injection, and researchers track changes in pain scores over 16 weeks to see if the procedure helps.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a wrist nerve block injection using local steroid
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a less invasive way to relieve wrist pain for people with rheumatoid arthritis, possibly delaying or avoiding surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an early study with no control group, so any pain relief could be due to the placebo effect or natural fluctuation. Nerve blocks carry small risks of infection, bleeding, or temporary numbness.
